GEOGRAPHICAL SKETCH AND AREA.
Cuba is the largest, most populous, and westernmost of the Antilles.
Shaped like the arc of a circle, with its convex side to the north, it
extends from 74-85^ west from Greenwich, and from 19^-40' to 23^-33'
latitude north. It is about 100 miles from Florida, separated from it
by the strait of the same name; to the east is Haiti, about 50 miles; on
the south, Jamaica, 85 miles; on the west, the Yucatan Channel, about
130 miles, which separates it from Mexico. Its length is about 730
miles (1,694 kilometers), from Cape San Antonio to Cape Maisi. Its
breadth differs, ranging from 160 miles (200 kilometers), in Oriente
Province, to 22 miles (40 kilometers), in Habana Province. Its total
area, including the Isle of Pines, is 45,883 square miles (118,832 square
kilometers), of which Cuba occupies 43,319 square miles, the Isle of
Pines 1,214, and the other islands and keys 1,350. Cuba is therefore
larger than Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands, a little less in
size than the State of Virginia, about the size of England, and some-
what smaller than Pennsylvania.
TOPOGRAPHY.
The north coast is for the most part bluff and rocky, and, in the
Provinces of Matanzas, Santa Clara, and Camaguey, lx)rdered by
lines of islands and reefs of coral formation, the passages through
which are extremely intricate and difficult. These islands are low,
are in the main covered with mangrove forests, and contain few
inhabitants.
5
6 HANDBOOK OP CUBA.
The coast is low in the western part of the island, the bluffs ranging
about 1,000 feet in height in Pinar del Rfo and rising gradually east-
ward. About Mantanzas they reach 500 feet in altitude. In Santa
Clara and Camaguey they are lower, but in Oriente the coast is abrupt
and rugged, almost mountainous, rising in a succession of terraces.
The south coast from (^ape Maisi to Cape Cruz is mountainous.
Indeed, from Santiago westward to Cape Cruz the Sierra Maestra rises
abruptly from the water to altitudes of several thousand feet. The
shores of the Gulf of Buena Esperanza, into which flows the Rio Cauto,
are low, and from this place westward, excepting a short stretch
between Trinidad and Cienf uegos, the coast is low and marshy as far
as Cape San Antonio, the westernmost point of the island. The coast
strip of marsh is in the main narrow, but west of Cienfuegos it
broadens into a great expanse, forming the Zapata Swamp, an almost
impenetrable region 75 miles in length with a maximum breadth of
fully 30 miles, clothed with the densest vegatation and teeming with
tropical life. It was within the protecting limits of this marsh that
the Cubans during the recent revolution maintained a hospital for their
sick and wounded.
Off the south coast are hundreds of low, marshy mangrove-covered
islands and islets.
Most of the harbors on both coasts are of peculiar shape, resembling
nothing so much as pouches with narrow, often sinuous, entrances,
opening within into broad expanses completely sheltered. This is the
character of the harbors of Bahia Honda, Cabanas, Habana, Santiago,
Cienfuegos, Guantanamo, Nipe, and many others less known.
OROGRAPHY.
In its relief the island of Cuba is not a simple orographic unit, but
presents great variety and irregularit}% which render it incapable of
simple description and generalization. The middle portion of the
island, including the Provinces of Habana, Matanzas, Santa Clara,
and Camaguey, presents little relief, but consists in the main of
broad, undulating plains and shallow valleys, the land rising only in
a few places to any considerable altitude. It is only at the two
extremes of the island, in the Province of Pinar del Rio, on the west,
and Oriente, on the east, that the island presents any considerable or
well-defined range of hills. Throughout Pinar del Rio there runs a
range of hills, a little north of the middle line of the Province and
closely paralleling in direction the northern coast. This range, which
is fairl}^ well defined, is known as the Cordillera de los Organos, or
Organ Mountains, and rises in many places to altitudes exceeding 2,000
feet, culminating in Pan de Guajaibon, having an altitude of 2,500
feet. From the crest of this range the land descends northward and
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 7
southward to the coast in long, undulatiDg slopes, the southward
slopes forming the celebrated tobacco lands known as Vuelta Abajo.
The central Provinces of Cuba — Habana, Matanzas, Santa Clara,
and Camaguey — consist mainly of broadly rolling plains with shallow
stream valleys. In Habana, Matanzas, and Santa Clara these plains
are, or were prior to the late revolution, in a high state of cultivation,
while in Camaguey they are in the main used for the grazing of cattle.
The Valley of the Yumuri, in Matanzas, is a type of the beautiful,
highly cultivated region of this part of the island.
The Sierra de los Organos ceases as a range a little west of Habana,
but traces of this uplift can be followed through the central part of
Habana Matanzas, Santa Clara, and the western part of Camaguey in
the fonu of lines of hills of no great altitude dotting these extended
plains. They are sSen south of the city of Habana in the little tim-
bered hills known as the Tetas de Managua, and farther east in the
Areas de Canasi, the Escaleras de Jaruco', and the Pan de Matanzas,
just south of the city of Matanzas. This rises to an altitude of 1,300
feet and serves as a landmark to sailors far out in the Atlantic. In
the eastern part of Matanzas Province these hills disappear, but they
reappear again in Santa Clara, taking the form of elongated crest and
lines and flat top summits, and as such extend into the western part
of the Province of Camaguey.
In the southern part of the Province of Santa.Clara is a group of
rounded hills, occupying an area between Cienfuegos, Trinidad, and
Sancti Spiritus. The highest of these, Potrerillo, has an altitude of
2,900 feet. Among these hills are many beautiful valleys.
Oriente, at the other end of the island, is a Province presenting
great relief. Its surface is extremely broken with high, sharp moun-
tain ranges, broad plateaus of considerable elevation, and deep valleys,
some of them broad, others narrow and resembling canyons. The
dominating orographic feature of the Province — indeed of the whole
island — is the Sierra Maestm, which, commencing at Cape Cruz,
south of Manzanillo, extends eastward, closely paralleling the coast,
from which it rises abruptly, as far east as the jieighborhood of San-
tiago. In this part it contains many points exceeding 5,000 feet in
altitude and culminates in Pico Turquino, which is reputed to have an
altitude of 8,320 feet.
From Santiago it extends to the east end of the island, but is much
more broken and has more of a plateau-like form, with a great dimi-
nution in altitude. This portion of the range takes on a different
name, being known as the Cobre Range. It contains numerous flat
summits, approximating 3,000 feet in altitude, one of which, known
as La Gran Piedra, is said to have an altitude of 3,300 feet.
North of Sierra Maestra lies the broad and fertile vallev of the
Cauto, be}'ond which the country rises graduall}* to a high plateai

occupying the interior of the Province, with a summit elevation of
1,00<) feet or more, in which stands the city of Holguin. The eastern
part of the Province consists of a maze of broken hills, with altitudes
ranging from 1 ,000 to 2,000 f eeU in which are many small and fertile
valleys.
The Isle of Pines, with an area of 840 square miles, is a municipal
district of the Province of Habana. It is in effect two islands, con-
nected by a marsh, the northern being somewhat broken by hills, the
southern low, flat, and sandy.
HYDS06RAFH7.
The rivers of Cuba, though numerous, are short, and few of them
are of any importance for navigation. The largest stream is the Rio
Cauto, which heads in the Province of Oriente, on the north slopes of
Sierra Maestra, and flows westward through a broad valley to its
mouth in the Gulf of Bu^na Esperanza, after a course of about
150 miles. This stream is navigable for light-draft boats to Cauto
Embarcadero, about 50 miles south.
Several other streams are navigable for a few miles above their
mouth, but in most cases only through what may be r^arded as
estuaries.
GB0L06T.
The general geology of the island may be briefly stated as consisting
of an older basement of pre-Tertiary sedimentary rocks in which
Cretaceous and probably flurassic fossils have been found. Above
this there are, first, littoral beds composed of terrigenous material
and then a great thickness of white limestone, consisting of organ-
icallv derived oceanic material, as distinguished from true reef rock
of late Eocene and 01igo<*ene age. The island was reclaimed from
the sea and assumed its present relief by a great mountain-making
movement in late Tertiary time, succeeding the deposition of these
limestone. In later epochs. Pliocene and Pleistocene, the island
underwent a series of epeirogenic subsidences and elevations which
affected the coastal lK)fders, producing the wave-cut cliffs and a margin
of elevated reef rock, which borders the coa^t in many places, as can
be recognized in the cities of Halmna and Baracoa. So far as its
historv is known, the island has never been connected with the
American mainland, although such has freiiuently been asserted to be
the case. These assertions have been based upon the erroneous
identification of certain vertebrate animal remains. There are no
truces in the animal life of Cuba, past or present, which justify this
conclusion. Some of the crvstalline rocks mav be ancient: but most
of them are mid-Tertiary in age.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 9
The most remarkable of the eaves are those of Bellamar, of marvel-
ous beauty, near Matanzas, visited by all tourists; in Camaguey^ those
of Cubitas, and in Oriente the one called Nueva del Negro, near Baire,
are also noteworthy.
FLORA.
The surface of the island is clad in a sumptuous floml mantle, which,
from its abundance and beaut}', first caused Cuba to be designated the
Pearl of the Antilles. In addition to those introduced from abroad,
over 3,350 native plants have been catalogued. Humboldt said: " We
might believe the entire island was originally a forest of palms, wild
limes, and orange trees." The flora includes nearly all the character-
istic forms of the other West Indies, the southern part of Florida,
and the Central American seaboard. Nearly all the large trees of the
Mexican tierra c^liente, so remarkable for their size, foliage, and
fragrance, reappear in western Cuba. Over 30 species of palm,
including the famous royal palm (oreodoxa regia), occur, while the
pine tree, elsewhere characteristic of the Temperate Zone and the
high altitudes of the Tropics, is found associated with palms and
mahoganies in the Province of Pinar del Rio and the Isle of Pines,
both of which take their name from this tree.
Among other woods are the lignum-vitae, granadilta, cocoa, wood
out of which reed instruments are made, mahogany, and cedrele
odorata, which is used for cigar boxes and linings of cabinetwork.
Although three hundred years of cultivation have exterminated the
forest from the sugar lands of the center and west, it is estimated
that in the hills of those districts and the mountains of the east nearly
13,000,000 acres of uncleared forest remain.
Rich and nutritious grasses are found throughout the island, aflford-
ing excellent forage for stock. The pineapples, manioc, sweet potato,
and Indian corn are indigenous to the island. When the flora of
Cuba is studied geographically it will doubtless be divided into several
subdivisions.
FAUNA.
Throughout Cuba game is abundant; deer, though not native, have
flourished and multiplied greatly. Rabbits are also plentiful. The
will boar, so called, the wild dog, and the wild cat are simply domes-
tic animals run wild, and are quite numerous in all parts of the island.
Wild fowl, especially ducks and pigeons, al)ound, the former crossing
from the Southern States during the winter season, while the latter
remain in the island the year round. Pheasants, quail, snipe, wild
turkeys, and wild guinea fowl are also numerous, with several varie-
ties of game birds, such as the perdiz, tojosas, rabiches, and the
goanaros.
10 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
The only distinctive native animal is the jutia or hutfa, rat-like in
appearance, and black; it grows to a length of 16 to 18 inches, not
including the tail. While eatable, it is not especially palatable.
Cuba has more than 200 species of native birds, including those
already mentioned as game birds, many possessing the most beautiful
plumage, but those with song are rare.
In swampy localities crocodiles and American alligators (caimans)
are found, and although these frequently grow to an enormous size,
but little attention is paid to them by the natives.
Chameleons, small lizards, tree toads, and similar harmless Silurians
of diminutive size are very common, while occasionally the iguana and
other large varieties of the lizard species are seen.
Few varieties of snakes exist in Cuba. One of these, the maja,
from 10 to 14 feet in length, is a semi-domesticated reptile, if such a
term may be used, for it is most frequently found about the huts,
farm houses, and small villages, its favorite living place being in the
paln^-leaf thatches of the older buildings, while its favorite food is
poultry. Another snake, named the jubo, is more vicious in dispo-
sition than the maja, although never reaching more than one-third its
size. It is not poisonous. The other varieties are still smaller in
size, are seldom seen and not venemous.
CLIMATOLOGT.
The climate of Cuba is comparatively simple in its character and
can be briefly described. With the long, narrow shape of the island,
its great extent of coast line and small breadth, it has in the main an
insular climate with a high mean temperature, slight extremes of
temperature, great humidity of the atmosphere, and an ample rainfall.
At Habana, on the north coast, the mean annual temperature is
77^ F. The range of temperature between the mean of the hottest
month and that of the coldest month is from 82^ to 71°, or only 11°.
The highest temperature on record in Habana is 100.6° and the lowest
49.6°. This maximum recorded temperature is no higher than in
northern cities of the United States, hut the duration of high tempera-
ture is much greater in Cuba and explains the high mean temperature.
But notwithstanding the long-continued high temperature, the climate
of the northern portion of the island is tempered by the trade winds,
which blow with but little variation throughout the year, and the nights
in both winter and summer are cool. The mean annual temperature at
Habana fairly represents that of the island, it being perhaps a little
hotter upon the south coast and inland than upon the north coast.
The mean relative humidity at Habana averages about 75 per cent and
remains tolerably uniform at all times of the year. Inland the humid-
ity becomes somewhat less, but not decidedly so.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 11
RAINFALL.
The mean annual rainfall at Habana, derived from observations of
many years, is 62 inches. This represents quite closely the rainfall
upon the north coast of the island. Inland and upon the south coast
it is probably somewhat less, although observations are lacking. This
is decidedly less than upon the Gulf coast of the United States, and
but little greater than that of the northern seaboard cities. As regards
the distribution of rainfall throughout the year, there is a wet and dry
season, the former being from May to October, during which time
about two-thirds of the precipitation of the year is received. Rain-
falls occur about one-third of the days during each year, although this
does not represent by any means the proportional amount of rainy
weather. The days are usually clear up to about 10 o'clock, from
which time till night, during the rainy season, it is frequently showery.
The nights are commonly clear. Thunder storms are frequent, but
not violent.
WINDS.
The prevailing winds throughout the island are the northeast trades,
which blow with great persistency, but seldom with violence. The
island is occasionally, though not frequently, visited by hurricanes.
These break upon the coast, causing the maximum destruction in its
neighborhood, and rapidly lose their force and violence as they pro-
ceed inland.
In winter, when the trade winds extend farthest to the southward,
the island not infrequently comes within the influence of ''northers"
from the north temperate zone, greatl}^ and suddenly' reducing the
temperature on the north coast. These occur during the winter
months and follow the severe storms of the United States, when the
temperature sometimes falls as low as 50"^, causing much suflfering, as
very little provision is made against cold in the construction of Cuban
houses.
POPULATION.
The population of Cuba, according to the census taken under the
direction of the United States War Department in IS99, was 1,572,797.
Twelve years earlier, in 1887, according to a census under Spanish
authority, the number was 1,631,687, or nearly 59,000 greater. After
allowing for the probable increase of the population between 1887
and 1895, the date on which the insurrection broke out, the loss of
life, as indicated by these two censuses, may be estimated at nearly
200,000, a loas which may be attributed to the war and to the accom
panying reconcentration.
The first census of Cuba upon which any reliance can be placed was

The loss in population incident to the irsurrection was sustained
entirely by the three western Provinces, the three eastern Provinces
having gained during the period between 18S7 and 1899, although
Santa Clara, one of the largest Provinces of the island, gained but a
trifling amount.
The density of population, taking the island as a whole, was 35.7
inhabitants to the square mile. The area, population, and density of
population of the six Provinces are given in the table below:

Tlie urban population of Cuba, including in tirat term the inhabitants
of all cities of more than 8,000 population, was 32.3 per cent of the
entire population, or a little less than one-third, being but a trifle
smaller than that of the United States. Including, however, all
cities down to 1,000 each, the proportion of urban population rises to
47.1 per cent, that of the United Stat<\s being the same. The capital
and chief city of the island is Habana, situated on the north coast near
its western end, with a population of 235,981. Other important
cities are Santiago, the capital of Oriente Province, on the south coast
near the eastern end of the island, population 43,090; Matanzas, the
capital of Matiinzas Province, on the north coast, population 36,374;
Cicnfuegos, in Santa Clara Province, on the south coast, population
30,038; Camaguey, the capital of the province of the same name,
situated in the interior, population 25,102; Cardenas, on the north
coast, in Mat^mzas Province, population 21,940. Most of the larger
cities are situated upon the seacoast rather than in the interior, indi-
cating their commercial character.

The center of population of Cuba in 1899 was situated in latitude
22^ 15' and longitude 80^ 23'. This locates it in Santa Clara Province,
80 miles southwest of the city of Santa Clara and 8 miles northwest
of Cienfuegos. It is at a distance of 76 miles northwest of the
geographic center of the island.
As to sex, the population was distributed in the proportions of 51.8
per cent males and 48.2 per cent females, the excess in the number of
males being probably due to immigration.
As to race, there were 68 per cent white and 32 per cent colored.
The colored formed less than one-third of the population, and their
proportion has for many years been diminishing. Tlie foreign born
formed 9 per cent of the total population, which leaves 60 per cent as
native whites. Three-fourths of all the foreign born in Cuba came
from Spain. Of the remainder, the countries which most frequently
contributed were China, Africa, and the United States. Other West
Indian islands, and even the neighboring countries of Centml and
South America, contribute very few, showing the extremely sedentary
character of these people.

The foreign-born element was found mainly in the cities, and espe-
cially in the larger ones. Nearly one-third of the entire foreign-bom
element was found in the city of Habana, where it constituted 22 per
cent of the entire population of the city.
The proportion of Cubans reported as being employed in gainful
occupations was 40 per cent, or two-fifths of the total po'pulation, a
proportion larger than in either the United States or Porto Kico. Of
the males, 68 per cent were reported as wage-earners; of the females,
only 9 per cent.
The wage-earners were distributed in the following proportions
among the great groups of occupations:
Occupations of ivage-eamers.

Domestic and personal service 23

Trade and transportation 13

In 1903 the population was estimated at 1,658,486, and taking into
consideration the natural increase and the number of immigrants
which have settled in Cuba, it may be safely said that the population
reaches, m 1905, 1,700,000 souls and that Habana has more than
275,000.
VITAL STATISTICS.
The superior board of health consists of .11 members, divided into
active and honorary. The active are the chief sanitarv oflicer of the
island as president of the board, the president of the commission of
special hygiene (prostitution), and three representatives for the east-
ern and western part of Cuba and the city of Habana, while the chief
quarantine officer of the port of Habana and the representatives
appointed by the Habana Academy of Medical Sciences, antitubercu-
losis league, national university, board of education, and a lawyer are
its honorary members.
The main duties of the board are to investigate the causes of infec-
tious diseases with special reference to epidemics, condition of public
buildings, quality or purity of liquors, medicines, and food, due
attention being given to reports, data, or other information concern-
ing the public health, especially such as are furnished by dispensaries,
asylums, hospitals, penitentiaries, schools, etc.
The board being considered the supreme authority on all sanitary
matters, it has the supervision of all the local boards outside of
Habana and is consulted on all affairs of sanitation. These municipal
boards are supposed to keep the superior board well informed so that
the latter may have a complete knowledge and understanding of the
sanitary status of the different towns.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 15
The national laboratory is a direct dependency of the superior board
of health, its principal object being the performance of scientific inves-
tigations, which are very important for the proper execution of the
sanitary work for which the board is responsible. Its organization
has been regulated so as to include the following:
Clinical microscopy, devoted to the examination of sputa, blood,
urine, and all specimens necessary to facilitate the diagnosis and early
determination of the infectious and contagious diseases.
The bacteriological section has charge of medical researches with
reference to the causes of epidemics and epizootics, as well as to the
preparation of laboratory products, such as tuberculine, maleine,
vaccine, etc.
The next section is one devoted to histological and pathological
work that proves of so much assistance in all laboratory work.
There is also a medico-legal section to assist the courts of justice in
the investigation of crimes by examining viscera and other materials
from the medical and chemical standpoints.
The chemical department is also equipped with all the modern scien-
tific appliances for the analysis of water supply, wines, beverages,
milk, and alt kinds of food.
With the view of helping the diagnosis of doubtful cases of con-
ta^ous diseases, the board has appointed a commission of several
members selected from amongst the physcians of high standing in the
town; this has proved of great value and has been of great assistance
in the work of the board.
The sanitary department of Habana is the main branch of the
superior board of health and embraces the following sections: Main
office, general sanitary inspections, disinfection, tuberculosis, and con-
tagious diseases.
The problem of tuberculosis is also considered for the purpose of
carrying out the best methods and ideas. To that effect the depart-
ment runs a dispensary exclusively dedicated to the care and treat-
ment of pulmonary troubles, whereby the outdoor patients are
benefited, while an opportunity is afforded for coming in touch with
the incipient cases that otherwise would escape the action of the
anthorities. The physical culture of the children is also given in the
same building, after which they get some nourishment, so much needed
by that class of patients.
The antituberculosis plan includes the inspection of houses, hotels,
boarding houses, cigar factories, dairy stables, etc., and the disinfec-
tion of premises, as well as the delivery of lectures on the prophylaxis
of the disease in all the factories and institutions, besides the distribu-
tion of pamphlets and circulars with the recommendations to be fol-
lowed for the prevention and hygiene of tuberculosis.

The hospital for infectious diseases, otherwise known as "Las
Animas " Hospital, is well equipped, being provided with every con-
venience suitable for this kind of institution, and its main feature is
that it is entirely mosquito proof. This hospital has been conspicuous
in the eradication of yellow fever from Habana, and in it are admitted
the imported cases from Mexico and other countries with complete
safety for the city.
As Habana is entirely free from yellow fever to-day, the work in
connection with this disease is limited to the cases found in the steamers
coming from Mexico or from other places abroad, and to those devel-
oped in quarantine where nonimmunes are kept during the period of
incubation of the disease. These cases are transferred to Las Animas
Hospital, and all the means of transportation (ambulance, stretcher,
etc.) are made mosquito proof. Any case reported in town as sus-
picious of yellow fever is dealt with in the same manner as in time of
epidemics.
The island is entirely free from yellow fever and the death rate is
decreasing, comparing already most favorably with the healthiest
countries of the world. Smallpox and malaria have also been
eradicated.
The mortality in the island during 1902 was 25,512 and 1903, 23,982,
and the annual rate diminished from 15.43 in 1902 to 14.52 in 1903.
If a comparison is made with the lowest mte in the Spanish regime,
29.30 per thousand in 1885, f with the average rate for the thirty
years ending 1900, of 41.95 per thousand, the wonderful progress made
can b<> xeen.

modifications as have been adopted by the provisional government.
The more important provisions contained therein are as follows:
AGENTS AND ATTORNEYS.
Undisclosed principal. — A contract made by an agent in his own

is informed by legitimate means of the revocation of the power of attor-
ney or of the alienation of the establishment. They shall also be valid

not to be made until the article sold has acquired the conditions
stipulated.
Piirehaser^H right of a/it ion agaiiiHt vend/tr, — A purchaser who, at
the time of receiving the merchandise, fully examines the same shall
not have a right of action against the vendor, alleging a defect in the
quantity or quality of the merchandise.
A purchaser shall have a right of action against a vendor for defects
in the quantity or quality of merchandise received in bales or pack-
ages, provided he brings his action within the four days following its
receipts, and that the average is not due to accident, to the nature of
the merchandise, or to fraud.
In such cases the purcha*<er may choose between the rescission of the
contract or its fulfillment in accordance with the terms of the agree-
ment, but always with the payment of the damages he may have suf-
fered bv reason of the defects or faults.
The vendor may avoid this claim by demanding, when making the
delivery, that the merchandise be examined fully by the purchaser
with regard to the quantity and qualit}' thereof.
Limitation of claim for defects, — A purchaser who has not made
anv claim based on the inherent defects in the article sold within the
thirty da\"s following its delivery shall lose all rights of action against
the vendor for such defects.
Loss ofgoodi<, — The loss or impairment of the goods before their
deliverv, on account of unforeseen accidents or without the fault of
the vendor, shall entitle the purchaser to rescind the contract, unless
the vendor has constituted himself the Imilee of the merchandise, in
which case his liability shall be limited to that arising by reason of the
deposit.
WAREHOUSE RECEIin'S.

are issued to order or to bearer, and shall have the force and value of
commercial bills of lading. These receipts must necessarily state the
class of goods, with the number or amount each one represents.
Holder, — The owner of the receipts is vested with the full owner-
ship of the commodities deposited in the warehouse of the association,
and shall be exempted from all liability from claims brought against
the receiver, the indorsers, or prior owners, except if said claims arise
from the transportation, storage, and preservation of the merchandise.
Actions, — If a creditor who has legal possession of a receipt as
security should not be paid on the day his claim falls due, he may
bring an action against the association to gain possession of the goods
on deposit sufficient to cover his credit, and shall have preference over
other debts of the depositor, with the exception of those mentioned in
the foregoing article.
The sales referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be made in
the warehouse of the association without the necessity of a judicial
decree, at a public auction previously announced, and through a licensed
broker, where there are any, and otherwise through a notary.
RELIGION.
The great majority of the Cuban people profess the Roman Catholic
religion; but there is no fanaticism or intolerance, the people adapt-
ing themselves without any difficulty to the religious liberty provided
for by the constitution. It is really worthy of admiration that a people
unaccustomed to these conditions should have respected and accepted
as quite natural the establishment of churches of other denominations.
ARMY AND NAVY.
There is no standing army or navy in the Republic.
Life and property of persons residing in cities and towns are well
protected by the municipal police force (which in the city of Ilabana
consists of 1 chief, 70 officers, and 1,007 men, not including a police
band of 50 members), and, in addition, port cities have harbor police,
charged with the preservation of peace and order in harbors and along
the wharves, as well as with the safety of merchandise stored there.
The maintenance of safety in the rural districts and along highways
is intrusted to the care of the Rural Guard of Cuba, a bodv of excel-
lent men, well mounted and equipped, numbering 1 chief, 163 officers,
and 2,856 men. It is intended to increase the number of men to 4,000.
* CoaM defenses, — The coast defenses are guarded by an artillery
corps, consisting of 1 chief, 24 officers, and 648 men, at present
instructed hy Capt. Dwight E. Aultman, of the United States Artil-
lery. A contract has recently been made for new arms and ammuni-
tion for the Rural Guard and Artillery Corps. T d
;)onnits the use of LJnited States army ammunition.
CHAPTER III.
THE CITY OF HABANA.
Habana, the capital city of the Republic of Cuba, was founded by
Diego Velasquez, the first adelantado, or governor-general, first near
the anchoring place of Batabano, and, that place not being convenient,
it was changed to Puerto de Carenas, its present site, in 1519. For
some years Habana was secondary in importance to Santiago de Cuba,
which was founded at an earlier date. Being wholly unprotected by
fortifications or armed forces, the settlement was an easy prey to the
buccaneers, who infested West Indian waters even in those early days.
In March, 1538, the to^n was sacked and burned- by a French pirate;
but was shortly afterwards rebuilt, with the aid of a military force
sent from Santiago de Cuba by Fernando de Soto, who had just been
appointed governor-general of the island. De Soto had brought with
him from Spain a strong expedition intended for the conquest of
Florida, which he imagined to be an empire of wealth greater than
Mexico or Peru. The officer sent by him in command of the relief
party was instructed to build a fort at Habana, for the defense of the
settlement, which he did, and it was named La Fuerza, which is pre-
served to this day, it now being used as the general archives of the
Republic, after having been suitably repaired and remodeled.
Sometime after the completion of La Fuerza, De Soto, with his
expedition, reached Habana, where he remained until May, 1539, and
then set sail for the conquest of Florida.
It was not until 1552 that Habana was made the capital of the island,
the seat of government }>eing transferred from Santiago de Cu})a, the
second capital — Baracoa, the earliest settlement in the island and the
first city of America, having been the first.
In fhi\y, 1555, Habana was again attacked by the French buccaneers,
prominent among whom was the famous Calvinist Jacques Sores.
The garrison at La Fuerza made a stubborn defense, which, how-
ever, proved useless against the fierce onslaught of the pirates.
The city was sacked and bunied; La Fuerza was virtually destroyed,
the survivors numbering thirty -eight families, and 13 strangers or
transients. This second disaster to the settlement aroused the Govem-
ment to action, and the garrison of the city was heavily reenforced.
40 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
In 1589 the castle of La Fuerza was (Milarged and the construction
of Morro and Ijsl Punta begun. In 1592 the title of city was given to
Habana by Philip U. In 1597 the first aqueduct was })uilt, the water
supply coming from the Almendares River, on which the town was
located.
Pimtes continued to harass the city until the Spanish Government
sent a whole squadron of war ships, which made their headquarters at
Habana. This protection gave the aity immunity for some years against
piratical attacks. Between the years 1625 and 1650, Dutch squadrons
blockaded Habana three times, but in each case the Dutch commander
was compelled to withdraw without having inflicted any material
damage on the city.
In the seventeenth century, treasure ships from Mexico and Peru
bound for Spain made Habana a stopping place and, notwithstanding
the fact that they were armed or convoyed by war vessels, they were
frequently attacked on the northern coast of Cuba by European
pirates and privateers, who lay in wait for them, and with whom
many desperate battles were fought, with varying results, but fortune
usually on the side of the Spaniards.
In 1648 the city was infested with a plague known as the "putrid
fever," which killed one-third of the population. It appeared again
in 1654 and, while not so fatal as on its previous visitation, the mor-
tality resulting therefrom was great. For some years subsequent to
1650 pirates were again very active in the vicinity of the city and, in
view of their aggressiveness, work on additional fortifications was
pushed, and in 1664 the garrison of the city was further increased to
600 regular troops, besides eight companies of militia. In 1671 work
on the walls of the city was actively begun, funds for carrying on this
work coming from Mexico. They were not completed until the early
part of the eighteenth century.
During the last half of the seventeenth century and the first half of
the eighteenth the city was frequently attacked by foreign squadrons,
which, we are told, were invariably repulsed without great difBcult3\
The forces defending the city were constantly increased, and by 1738
had reached 4,000 militia, besides the regular troops. Relief expedi-
tions were from time to time sent from the city to aid the besieged
colony of Florida, which was constantly threatened by the English on
one sifle or the French on the other. One of these expeditions was
captured b}" the French at Pensacola in the early part of the eighteenth
century.
The fleet of war vessels maintained bj^ Spain in West Indian waters
was unable not only to stamp out, but to check the growth of piracy,
in view of which many letters of marque were granted to privateers
between the years of 1720 and 1750. Spanish historians record that
these privateers captured many pirates, who were invariably punished
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 41
with death. In 1761 two Spanish war vessels bringing men and treas-
ure from Veracruz, Mexico, reached Habana infected with yellow
fever, called by the Spaniards at the time '''l)hick vomit,'' which was
at once communicated to the city, resulting in an epidemic, from which
more than 3,000 persons died between May and October of that year.
The disease became endemic, and was only eradicated by the Americans
in 1901. During the war between Spain and Great Britain in 1762 a
fleet of 53 war vessels, under command of Sir George Pocock, con-
voying 145 transports bearing 12,041 soldiers and 2,000 negroes
for working, commanded by the Earl of Albemarle, appeared oS the
harbor of Habana, and the following day began an attack on the city.
The fortifications at Cojimar, a suburb, w^ere destroyed without diflS-
culty, and troops were then landed. Fighting continued daily until
August 11, when the city capitulated, the formal surrender taking
place the day following. The British continued in possession of the
citj' until June 6, 1763, nearly live months subsequent to the declara-
tion of peace.
Bv the creation of the intendancv of Habana in 1764 Cuba was
removed from the jurisdiction of Santo Domingo, to which it had pre-
viously been subject. During the British occupation vessels of all
nationalities were permitted to enter the harbor, and this practice w as
continued to some extent after English evacuation, but it was stopped
in 1766 by an order which positivel}" forbade the entram^e to the
harljor of any foreign vessel. Within two months after the British
evacuation the construction of the fortreas of La Cabana and the
reconstruction of Morro Castle were begun. La Cabafia, which,
together with La Punta and Morro, guards the narrow entmnce to the
harbor, and which is one of the largest forts in area in the world, was
completed in 1774.
In 1768 a hurricane swept over the city, destroying or seriously
damaging 69 vessels in the harbor and leiiving scarceh' a l)uilding in
the citv unharmed. The first census of Habana. taken in 1773, showed
a population of 75,618, and in 1788 the streets of the city were lighted
for the first time. In June, 171U, another storm passed over the city
doing great damage to life and property. The order forbidding the
entrance to the harbor of all foreign vessels was, in 179;"), modified to
the extent of granting said privilege to English and American ships.
On January, 1796, a war vessel arrived, bringing the ashes of Colum-
bus from Santo Domingo, which were deposited in a niche of the walls
of the cathedral, where they remained until the latter jmrt of 1898,
when they were taken out and carried to Spain. The g(»nuincness of
the^e ashes is denied by Santo Domingo, which claims that they are
the remains of the son of Columbus, those of the great discoverer
being preserved in the cathedral of the capital of that Republic.
42 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
In 1818 a royal decree permitting the free entiy to the port of ves-
sels of all nations was issued. A census taken that year showed a
population of 84,075, which was increased by 1827 to 94,023. In 1829
an expedition of 3,500 men for the recapture of Mexico was organized
in the city and shortly afterwards set sail for that Republic, returning
the same year unsuccessful with a depletion in their ranks of 1,000.
In 1833 an epidemic of cholera in the city killed 12,000 persons, and a
similar epidemic in 1850 caused great loss of life. A hurricane, which
swept over the island in 1843, caused great ravages in the city, and it
was followed by a more severe storm in 1846, which destroyed 216
ships in the harbor, besides doing great damage to life and property
ashore.
In 1850 Narciso Lopez and Colonel Crittenden, of Kentucky, landed
in Cardenas with a filibustering expedition organized in New Orleans,
and not being supported returned to the United States. Afterwards,
in 1851, another expedition landed in Pinar del Rio. They were
attacked by a superior force, captured, and, with 50 Americans, taken
to Habana, and all shot except Lopez, who died by the garrote.
During the war of secession in the United States many southerners
sought refuge in Habana, and safety was found there by many blockade
runners.
Habana was the scene of many bloody occurrences during the period
of the first revolution of the Cubans, known as the ''Ten Years' War,"
the irregular forces of Spanish militia, known as '" Voluntarios," being
the chief offenders. During the revolution resulting in the separation
of the island from Spain (1895-1898) riots and disturbances were also
frequent. As a result of one of these the Government of the United
States ordered the U. S. battle ship 3faz7w to Habana, in which harbor
it was blown up on February 15, 1898. This occurrence was perhaps
one of the strongest motives which brought the rapture of diplomatic
relations between the United States and Spain, and consequently the
declaration of war between the two nations.
This historical sketch of the capital city of Cuba may be found
interesting, and especiall}- so to Americans, who, since the advent of
the Cuban Republic, have been visiting Habana during the winter
months in ever-increasing numbers.
The importance of the old ^'Puerto Carenas,'' however, is not solely
due to its historv. Habana is one of the most beautiful cities in the
world, both natumlly and by its avenues, palaces, buildings, parks,
promenades, and as a commercial center has splendid wharves and
facilities for transportation.
It has a population of nearly 275,000 inhabitants, and the number is
dail}' increasing by the powerful currents of immigration coming from
all ovpr the world.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 48
Of the buildings the palace of the President of the Republic, for-
merly occupied by the Spanish captain-generals and the residence of
the unlitary governor during the period of American occupation, is
worthy of mention, by the l)eauty of its architecture, its size, and the
magnificence of its galleries and salons. This building belonged to
the Habana municipality, which, when the Republic was established,
granted the privilege to the executive to dwell in it. There is a statue
of Columbus in the courtyard. The ancient convent of San Francisco,
now oc<?upied by the custom-house department, is also worthy of
inspection by the visitor. The palace formerly occupied by the com-
mander of marine, now used as the House of Representatives of the
Republic, is a handsome building. The Nacional Theatre is consid-
ered one of the best in the world, not only for its size, but also l>ecause
of it*< really wonderful acoustic conditions. The Tacon Market and
the Colon Market are models in their chuss. The normal school
for teachers, the jail, and the Pay ret Theatre are also important
institutions.
The principal jmrks and squares are the following: Centml Park,
Park of Ck)lon, Plaza de Armas, Plaza d(* Montserrate, Plaza de la
Catedral, or "'Discusion,'" and Plaza del Cristo.
The principal avenues and promenades are: The Malecon, the Piuseo
de Marti (formerly Prado), Avenida de la Independencia, Calzada de
San Lazaro, Avenida de las Palmas, and Calzada de la Reina. There
is a botanic garden divided into an experimenUil field and a section of
lK)tany.
Haliana |)ossesses sevei"al clubs and societies, the most important of
which are: The Union Club, El Att^neo y Circulo de la Ilabana, Clr-
culo Liberal Nacional, Circulo Moderado, Centro Asturiano, Centro
de Dependientes, Centro Aleman, Centro (lallego, American Club,
Circolo Ittdiano, Cjisino Espaiiol, Sociedad del Vedado, Sociedad del
Pilar, Ilabana Yacht Club, Habana Chess Club, and several athletic
societies.
Of all the Spanish-American cities Halmna is j)erhai>8 the gavest.
It* has seven theaters- -the Na<*ional, Payn*t, Albisu, Cuba, Marti,
Alhambra, and Chinese, which are open during the greater part of
the year; besides it has several Iwiseball grounds where Cuban and
American teams of the first (jualitx' are always to be admiriHl. Jai
Alai, the Spanish ball game, is also played. It would take consider-
able space to enumerate all the anuisements to be found in Habana.
Ia^{ it suffice to say that a prominent American has called the city
•'the American Paris.'"
The Habana press of to-day can favorably compare with that of
many of the foremost countries in Europe. Besides the CJaceta Oficial
de la Republica de Cuba and the Boletin Oficial, published by the
national and provincial government, the most important news^mviers
44 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
are: La Discusion, Diario de la Marina, La Lucha (which is printed
both in Spanish and English), El Mundo, El Comercio, El Nuevo Pais,
El Avisador Comercial, El Liberal, The Habana Pest (an American
paper published in English), El Figaro (an illustrated weekly), Cuba y
America, El Economista, El Tabaco, and many others. Most of these
papers are supplied with up-to-date plants, rotary presses, photoen-
graving plants, linotypes, etc. Great importance is given by them to
foreign news and they all have numerous correspondents in the prin-
cipal cities of the United States and Europe. These papers circulate
all over the island and in Centml and South America, and their cable-
graphic service is as good and efficient as that of any first-class news-
paper in the world.
The water supply of Habana is unexcelled. It is carried to the city
from the springs at Vento (Palatino), about 8 miles from Habana, and
its abundance is such that it more than iSills the present requirements
and a large portion runs to waste. The purity of the Habana water
is remarkable, no iSiltering being necessary.
According to the latest census there are about 18,000 houses in the
city.
The mean annual temperature of Habana is 77° and the lowest
recorded temperature is 49.6°. The average humidity is 75 per cent
and the annual rainfall 52 inches, two-thirds of which is precipitated
during the rain}^ season from June to the middle of October. The
city has an excellent electric street-railway system, built by an Amer-
ican corporation since the Spanish- American war, whose lines extend
not only through many of the narrow streets of the city, but to the
suburban towns of El Vedado, Cerro, and Jesus del Monte.
Other lines are now being built through the business section of the
city, and an elevated line extending along the harbor front. Strangers
in the cit}' are surprised at the che^ipness of carriage fares. Rubber-
tired victorias, dmwu by horses usually in excellent condition, will
take one or two passengers to almost any part of the cit}^ for the sum
of '20 cents Spanish silver, equal to about 14 cents American currency.
The increasing number of American tourists who visit the ciiy
every winter, and return charmed wMth its climate and attractions, will
undoubtedly tend within a few years to make Habana the most popu-
lar winter resort for the people of the United States living east of the
Missouri River. Within a few hours' sail from Florida one reaches a
city foreign in every respect and wholly unlike anything to be seen at
home. Its streets, buildings, customs, and atmosphere are closely akin
to tliose of Andalusia, the most interesting portion of Spain, while its
vegetation is peculiarly Cuban. Three and a half years of American
occupation made little impress on the customs of the people, and,
except in cleanliness of streets and buildings, Habana, in a general
sense, is the same now as during colonial days.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 45
Except in luxurious hotels, Habana has many advantages over any
point in Florida as an attractive winter resort, and this fact is becom-
ing known to the winter-tourist public of the United States. Its
many points of historic interest; its balm}^ rainless winter days and
more beautiful nights; its well-kept macadam roads, extending from
the city to various interior picturesque towns and quaint villages
through beautiful sections of tropical country, are sure to prove
delightful attractions to the visitor from the frozen North.
Habana is justly proud of its firemen. The corps is a volunteer
institution and the firemen receive no salary or compensation for
their service. Many of them belong to the most prominent families
of Cuba. The fire engines and other apparatus are of the most
modern models, and the service is thoroughly efficient.
There is not, perhaps, any other city in the world which possesses
.a better police force than Habana. The city is, divided into thirteen
precincts, each precinct conmianded by a captain. The number of
patrolmen is the largest of any city in the world. They are well
paid, splendidly organized and drilled, and handsomel}- uniformed.
As a rule, the members of the force are all men of high moral stand-
ing and unquestionable courage. The Habana police is divided into
two sections, infantry and cavalry, and their ability to handle large
crowds is certainly praiseworthy.
Besides the uniformed police, there is in Habana a detective bureau.
This branch of the Habana police is perhaps the one deserving more
credit for its exceptional ability in discovering offenders and ferreting
out crimes. Many a notorious criminal who hud managed to evade
the police of Paris, London, Chicago, and New York has been detected
and arretted by the Habana detectives by means of the most ingenious
combinations.
Habana is to-day what the Americans aptly term 'Si busy city.'"
The first impression one receives on landing in the Cuban capital is
that he has arrived at one of the great American or European centers
of commerce and industry.
Habana is well provided with hospitals, the most important ones
being the Mercedes No. 1; Las Animas, whore the experiments for
yellow fever were made; the Quinta de Higieno, for venereal diseases;
the Tamayo Dispensary, the one for tuberculosis; La Caridad, and
La Creche; the Paula (for women), and San Lazaro (for the le[>ers),
besides a large number of emergenc\' hospitals, called '^cjisas de
socorros/' which render many good services to those who suffer from
accidents. All these hospitals are well supplied with the most modern
apparatus and surgical instruments and are in charge of the ablest
physicians and practitioners as well as trained nurses.
Habana also has a hospital for the insane, at Mazorni, where the
insane asylum is located
46 HANDBOOK OF CGBA.
There are 21 Catholic and 6 Protestant churches in Habana. The
Catholic churches are: Belen, The Cathedral, Espiritu Santo, Guada-
lupe, Jesus del Monte, Jesus Maria y Jos^, Merced, Monserrate, Pilar,
San Agustin, San Felipe, San Nicolas, Santa Catalina, Santa Clara,
Santa Teresa, Santo Angel Custodio, Santo Cristo, Santo Domingo,
Salvador, San Lazaro, and Ursulinas. Of these Belen, Merced, San
Agustin, Santa Catalina, Santa Clara, Santa Teresa, Santo Domingo,
and Ursulinas are convents.
The Protestant churches are: Bautista (Baptist), Evangelica (Evan-
gelical), Union Cristiana, Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian.
Habana also has two conservatories of music, a school of painting
and drawing, institute or high school, school of arts and trades and
several other professional institutions, besides many private and public
schools and colleges.
The Cristobal Colon cemetery, one of the notable public institutions
of Habana, is situated upon an eminence west of the city conunanding
an outlook over the sea. It is reached by a drive through the Avenida
de la Independencia (formerly Paseode Tacon)and past Principe Hill,
or b}' the Universidad-Aduana line of street cars, which run to the
entrance, and make the trip in twenty minutes from Prado (to-day
Paseo de Marti). The grounds are open through the day. At the
entrance, in a monumental arch of granite pierced by three openings, is
a sculptured panel representing the raising of I^azarus from the dead,
and surmounting the whole is a group of heroic figures representing
the theological virtues. Faith, Hope, and Charity, protected I)}- the
mantle of Religion. The cemetery has many handsome monument.s;
richly chiseled marbles and tombs decorated with porcelain flowers
line the avenues.
Noteworthy among the monuments are the tomb of General Calixto
(irarcia, the Cuban patriot, bearing the sentiment ''Morir por la Patria
es vivir"' (To die for the country is to live); the one to Bishop Espada;
the Students' Monument, erected by popular subscription in memory
of the students of medicine of the University of Habana, who, in the
3ear 1871, were sacrificed to the vindictiveness of the Spanish Volun-
teers; the Firemen's Monument, erected by the citizens of Habana in
commemoration of the bravery of the volunteer firemen of Habana, 30
of whom perished in a fire which occurred in a warehouse on May 17,
1890, and many others; also the statues of Albear, Charles HI, Ferdi-
nand VII, and Marti.
The Templete, constructed in 1828 on the site where the first mass
was celebrated, is an interesting building and contains paintings of
historical value. Here the first council took place under a ceiba tree.
The University of Habana, located in the building formerly occu-
pied by the Spanish military magazines, is also noteworth3\ It pos-
9808 interesting collections of ethnology, zoolog}\ geology, and
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 47
botany. The university has a beautiful and healthy situation on a
high hill overlooking the sea, and where pure and fresh air circulates
profusel3\
Habana has several public libraries: The Biblioteca Nacional and
Bibliotera do la Socicdad Economica de Amigos del Pais; the one of
the Colegio de Abogados (law), the one of the Academ}" of Science,
which has a museum, that of Pedagogia, the university, and the high
school.
At the corner of Belasc^oin and San Lazaro streets is the Casa de
Beneficencia y Maternidad (Charity and Maternity Asylum) for
destitute children. It was founded in 1794 by Governor-General
Luis de las Casas, whose administration was one of the bright spots in
the history of Cuba and is one of the best institutions of the city.
Other beneticient institutions are the Asvlum of San Vicente de Paul,
the Correctional School at Aldecoa, and the Asilo de Huerfanos de la
Patria (Orphans of the CV>untry), in which shelter, food, and education
is provided for the children of those who died for the independence of
Cuba.
CHAPTER IV.
PROVINCES— GEOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF EACH— RESOURCES-
POPULATION, ETC.
The Republic of Cuba is divided into six Provinces, which from
west to east are as follows: Pinar del Rio, Habana, Matanzas, Santa
Cl^ra, Caniaguey, and Oriente.
These Provinces are subdivided into 83 municipal districts, in the
following proportion: Pinar Hel Rio, 11; Habana, 17; Matanzas, 9;
Santa Clara, 27; Camagiiey, 4; Oriente, 15.
Some of these, especialh' in the rural districts, are again suMivided
into wards (barrios), the size, number, and population of which varies;
their object being to aid municipal control by means of delegates
known as alcaldes de barrio, an office equivalent to the justice of the
l)eare in the United States.
The area of the six Provinces is shown in the following table:

PROVINCE OF PINAR DEL JRIO.
The Province of Pinar del Rio is situated at the western extremity
of the island, and is bounded on the north by the Gulf of Mexico, on
the east by the Province of Habana, on the south by the Sea of the
Antilles, and on the west by the Strait of Yucatan.
As constituted under the late government, Pinar del Rio is divided
into four judicial districts: Pinar del Rio, San Cristobal, Guanajay,
and Guane.
The lands of this Province differ greatly in their formation; the
Quaternaries are found forming two bands or zones, one to the north
and the other to the south, excepting the piece of land pertaining to
Cabo <Jorrientes. The southern band is a great deal wider than the
northern. The portion of this Province between longitude 78^ and 79^
we«t, San Fernando meridian, Spain, is absolutely of the same post-
Tertiary formation. These lands are limited by the coasts and, gen-
erally speaking, are low and marshy; they are used chiefly for raising
cattle and swine as well as for the manufacture of charcoal and the
gathering of leaves and bark of the red mangrove.
The lands of the Tertiary formation are also found in two strips
parallel to the above mentioned. They are considered first class for
the culture of tobacco, owing to their arenaceous, argillocalcareous,
humiferous composition, principally in the southern part of the
Province (municipalities of Guane, San Juan y Martinez, San Luis,
Consolacion del Sur), where the Vuelta Abajo vegas of world-wide fame
are located.
To lands of the Secondary period pertain all the central highlands
of the Province. On the summit of these mountains small spaces of
igneous soil, mostly com[K>sed of serpentine rocks, are found. These
lands a^;e generally of })ad quality. Some coffee grows on them, but
their principal product^ are feed for cattle, timber for construction,
and wood for making charcoal. This portion of land is the most
mountainous of the Province.
To the southwest of the Cordillera de los Organos (Organos Ridge)
exists a zone pertaining to the primitive formation, covered by woods
almost in its total area. Communications with Habana and through
the Province are abundant and good.
The principal products of the Province of Pinar del Rio are tobacco
(the most renowned in the world), sugar cane, coffee, timber, fruits,
charcoal, and cattle.
The capital of the Province is the city of Pinar del Rio, with 8,880
inhabitants, situated in a fertile valley near the river Guamfi, and con-
nected with Habana by the lines of the Western Railway of Habana.
Pinar del Rio has a splendid situation in the heart of the famoos
tobacco-growing district of Vuelta Abajo. It communicates by rail

with the towns of San Luis and San Juan y Martinez, and will soon
have communication with Remates de Guane, where the best Vuelta
Abajo tobacco is produced.
An excellent macadamized road connects the city of Pinar del Rio
with the port of La Coloma, on the south coast of the island.
The city itself is an antiquated one, although many changes and
improvements have lately been introduced. It has several good, solid
buildings, such as the civil governor's residence, the jail, the institute,
and the old Spanish cuartel or armory. It has also a good hospital,
cemetery, etc.
The most important cities and towns in this Province are: Guanajay,
San Luis, Vinales, San Juan y Martinez, San Diego, Los Palacios,
Cabanas, Bahia Honda, Mariel (where the quarantine station of the
Republic is located), Consolacion del Sur, Remates de Guane, San
Cristobal, etc.
One of the naval stations ceded by the Cuban Republic to the
United States has been established at Bahia Honda, in this Province.
San Diego de los Bafios is famous for its sulphur springs, of
unequaled excellence.
The Province of Pinar del Rio suflfered greatlj'^ as a consequence of
the late revolution. It is, however, being rapidly reconstructed, and
there is every reason to believe that its condition will soon be more
favorable than ever before.
PROVINCE OF HABANA.
The Province of Habana, the smallest in area, is the most populated
of the Republic.
It is bounded on the north by the Florida Canal, on the east b\"
the Province of Matanzas, on the south by the Sea of the Antilles,
on the west bv the Province of Pinar del Rio.
It is divided into the following judicial districts: Habana, Guana-
bacoa, Marianao, Jaruco, San Antonio de los Banos, Bejucal, and
Guines.
The soil of the Quaternary period is found in all the south coast
littoral and in a small portion of the north coast, east of Habana.
The lands of the Tertiary formation are located in the southern
and western portions of the Province, adjoining the zones of the
Quaternar}^ formation, although the strips are rather narrow. In the
municipalities of Alquizar and Guira de Melena, situated in the south-
west section of the Province, tobacco of ver\^ good quality, called
'•Tabaco de Partido," is cultivated, and also coffee, bananas, sugar
cane, and oranges.
The dark soil (black earth) of the municipalities of Guines, Melena
del Sur, Nueva Paz, and San Nicolas, on the south coast, to the east,
produce sugar aine, and, in Guines, also potatoes, and many other
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 51
excellent vegetables, enough to supply the Habana markets and to
export to the United States.
The arenose-argillo-caleareous lands of the municipality of Bauta,
to the west of Habana, are first class for cultivating white and violet
pineapples, which are being shipped in large quantities to New York
and other American markets.
The lands of the Secondary period farm a strip beginning south of
the city of Habana and running east to the limits of Matanzas. In
this zone are located parts of the municipalities of Madruga, Tapaste,
Santa Maria del Rosario, Casiguas, and others.
Only a small portion of igneous soil can be found in the munici-
pality of Guanabacoa, to the east of Habana.
The principal productions of the Province are sugar cane, alcohol,
tobacco, pineapples, ^'yuca,'" starch, coffee, bananas, corn, and fruits
and vegetables of every kind, and other produce.
The capital of the Province, and of the Republic, is Habana. It is
situated on the west side of the beautiful l)av of Habana, known to
Columbus and his companions as the " Puerto de Carenas,'" owing to
the fact that the great admiral found in its bosom safe shelter to carry
on the difficult task of overhauling his damaged ships; ^''carena'" being
a Spanish word meaning ''overhaul.''' It is in latitude 23^ 8' 15"
north and SS^ 22' 42" west longitude.
Habana occupies a very stnitegical position at the mouth of the
Gulf of Mexico, a fact which has served to aptly give it the name of
the ''Kev of the Gulf:"' and a svmbolic kev is emblazoned in its coat
of arms.
Habana is strongly fortified, the entrance to its harbor being
guarded on one side b\' the Morro and the frowning heights of La
Cabana Fortress, and on the other by La Puntu and other smaller (*oast
batteries, which, supported as they are by the l)atteries of Castillo del
Principe, Castillo de Atares, etc., and by the sand batteries extending
upon the coast on both sides of the harbor, make the place a strong-
hold.
The mouth of the port is a rather narrow one, but expands into a
wide and deep harbor, where a thousand ships can safely anchor.
The city has a population of nearly 275, (XK) inhabitants: it has
beautiful drives, among which the now famous Malecon (embank-
ment), which runs parallel to the sea; the Prado (nowPaseo de Marti),
running from the Malecon to the Parque Central; the Avenida de las
Palmas, the Avenida de la Independencia, etc. Its parks are also
very beautiful, notably, the Central, the Parque de Colon, and others.
The city has a number of associations for purposes of instruction
and recreation, and several clubs, an academy of sciences, university,
high school, charity institutions, asylums, civil, military, and private
hospitals, several theaters, the principal one named Teatro Macional,
52 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
being widely celebrated; large markets, a system of magnificent
waterworks, an extensive and beautiful cemetery, sea baths, churches,
convents, and good hotels, which are being improved yearly.
It has a great commercial tiuflSc, interior as well as exterior, main-
tained by steamship lines, railroads, urban and suburban electric
lines, and a large number of omnibuses and carriages, public and
private.
The water supply of Habana is one of the most abundant and purest
and healthiest in the world, it being* gotten from the springs in Vento,
tanked in reservoirs at a place called '^ Palatino,"" near Habana, and
carried to the city by means of an aqueduct by an engineer named
Albear, a native of Habana.
Very soon the works of the sewerage and paving will be accom-
plished.
Habana is the residence of the President of the Republic, the seat
of the Congress of the Republic, etc.
It is the seat of the General Government, supreme court, superior
court of Habana (audiencia) general direction of finance, naval station,
arsenal, observatory, diocese of the bishopric, and the residence of
all the administrative heads of the island (civil, military, maritime,
judicial, and economical).
The cable companies are The International Ocean Telephone Com-
pany, from Habana to Florida, in connection with the Western Union
of the United States and the Cuba Submarine Telephone Company
(limited) connecting Habana with Santiago and Cienfuegos.
The West India and Panama Telegraph Company has a cable con-
necting Habana with Santiago de Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico, and the
lesser Antilles. The Compagnie Fran^aise de Cables Sous Marins
connects Habana with Santiago, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Venezuela,
and Brazil.
It is rapidly becoming a favorite winter resort for Americans, who
find in the Cuban capital the combined pleasures of seashore and
city life.
The port of Habana is the most important of the island and one of
the foremost in the world.
There are numerous cigar and cigai*ette factories, tanneries, manu-
factories of sweetmeats, rum, candles, gas, beer, carriages, soap, per-
fumery, glycerin, etc.
Its principal exports to the United States consist of tobacco, fruit,
wax and honey, sugar, and molasses.
The Isle of Pines, with an area of 840 square miles, is a municipal
district of the Province of Habana. It is in eflfect two islands con-
nected by a marsh, the northern being somewhat broken by hills; the
southern low, flat, and sandy.
HAN*DBOOK OF CUBA. 53
There are also worthy of mention Guanabacoa, one of the most
ancient towns of the island, Santa Maria del Rosario, Jaruco, San
Antonio de los Banos, Bejucal, Guines, Santiago de las Vegas, Mari-
anao, Managua, Guira, Batabano, Nueva Paz, and Aguacate.
PROVINCE OF MATANZAS.
The Province of Matanzas is bounded on the north by the Florida
Canal, on the south and east by the Province of Santa Clam, on the
west by the Caribbean Sea and the Province of Habana.
It is divided into five judicial districts, viz. North and South Matan-
zas, Cardenas, Alfonso XII, and Colon.
The Quaternary formations are found in the shape of narrow strips,
running along the north coast from the Ba}' of Matanzas to the limits
of Santa Clara Province and along the south coast of the Province.
The lands of the Tertiarv formation are situated on the west side of
Matanzas, running in said direction to the limits of Habana Province,
in the central and southern part of the Province to the Zapata swamps
and limits of Santa Clara.
The red soil of the nmnicipalities of Jovellanos, (Juini de Macuriges,
Cervantes (formerly Perico), Bolondreiu and La Union are considered
of the very best kind for cultivating sugar cane, coffee, oranges,
bananas, sweet potatoes, " name," "'yuca,'- corn, etc. The soil of the
municipalities of Alacnines, Jaguey Gmnde, (lunnajayabo, and Guama-
caro are of argillo-arenosc-calcareous humiferous composition, of dark
or brown color, in some instances rather humid, but of thick vegetable
coat. It is good for the cultivation of sugar cane.
The lands of the Secondary formations are situated in the central
highlands of this regfon, forming a zone running from the west of the
village of Colon nearly to the municipiility of l^nion de Reyes.
The igneous soils are located in the center of the Secondary zone,
forming narrow strips, which begin at Colon and end at Union de
Reyes.
The parts of this Province pertaining to the municipalities of Cimar-
rones and San Jose de los Ramos are extensively flocxled during heavy
rainy seasons on account of the swelling of the rivers through or near
by said districts.
The principal products of the Province are sugar ame, alcohol, and
timber.
Matanzas has 40,000 inhabitants and is the capital of the Province
that bears its name, about 00 miles directly east of Habana. This city
has great commercial activity, and is noted for the beaut\' of its sur-
roundings, one of the most enchanting views being the celebrated
Valley of the Yumuri. It has also a pretty plaza, and goinl buildings,
the most notable being the Esteban Theater and the City Halt and
there are also many others of a public and private nature. One of the
54 HANDBOOK OF OTTBA.
city's great attractions are the Caves of Bellamar, containing most
beautiful stalactites and stalagmites.
The chief warehouses, distilleries, and sugar refineries are on the
south of the river San Juan, easily accesible to railroads and lighters.
The principal industries are rum distilling, sugar refining, and the
manufacttire of guaba jelly. There are railroad, car, and machine
shops. Sugar and molasses are sent to the United States, amounting
from 1891 to 1895 to $59,988,497.
The climate is fine and Matanzas is considered the healthiest city on
the island.
Cardenas, with 32,000 inhabitants, is also'an important commercial
center, and occupies the third place in the value of its exports during
the last fiscal year 1902-3.
Sugar is the chief article of export. The total exports to the United
States in the fiscal year 1895-96 were $2,920,905, of this sugar repre-
sented $1,872,626. About half of the imports are from the United
States.
The Cardenas and Jucaro Railway (Caminos de hierro de Cardenas y
Jucaro) with main line from Cardenas to Santa Clara.
Colon is on a branch of the IVtacagua Railroad.
This municipality has of late years made great efforts in the direc-
tion of educational advancement. It is in the heart of the sugar-
producing region.
PROVINCE OF SANTA CLARA.
The Province of Santa Clara is bounded on the north })v the Channel
of Bahama, on the east by the Province of Camaguey, on the south by
the Sea of the Antilles, and on the west b}^ the Province of Matanzas.
It is divided into six judicial districts, Santa Clara, Sagua la Grande,
Remedios, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, and Sancti Spiritus.
The soil of the Quaternary formation extends from the limits of
the Matanzas Province to the north of Sagua la Chica River on the
north coast, and to Cienfuegos on the south coast.
The lands of the Tertiary formation are foiind in the northern part
of the Province, from Sagua la Chica River to the limits of the Prov-
ince of Camaguey, forming a wide zone, extending westward to
the Province of Matanzas. In this zone are located, in part, the
municipalities of Yaguajay, Remedios, Taguayabon, Vueltjis, Cama-
juani, and Sagua. On the south coast they form a narrow strip,
beginning at the port of Cienfuegos and ending in the Province
of Camaguey. This zone becomes wider in the central region of
the Province, occupying a considerable extent of land. The munici-
palities of Trinidad and Sancti Spiritus are situated in this zone. Soil
of the same formation, occupied by the nmnicipalities of Cartagena
and Santa Isabela de las Lajas, can be found in the western portion of
the Province.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 55
The lands of the Secondary period form two irre^^lar bands joining
in the west. Lands of this formation, although occupying a small
area, can be found to the north of Cienf uegos port, in the place where
the municipality of San Fernando is situated.
Soil of the Primitive formation can be found on the east side of the
Arimao River, extending to the north slope of the Siguanea. The
renowned Manicaragua Vegas are located on this formation.
The principal products of the Province are sugar cane, tobacco,
coffee, c<X!oa, corn, bananas, honey, wax, timber, alcohol, cattle, char-
coal, and bark and leaves for tanning.
Cienf uegos, having a fine harbor bearing the same name and of great
commercial activity, occupied the second place for its exports during
the last fiscal year. It is in latitude 22^ 9' north and longitude 73^ 50'
west, on a peninsula in the bay of Yagua, 6 miles from the sea. The
depth of water at the anchorage in the harbor is 27 feet, and at the
different wharves from 14 to 16 feet.
The commercial importance oi the place was recognized some forty
years ago, and has increased with the development of the sugar
industry. This port is now the center of the sugar trade for the
south of the island. It is connected by rail with Habana and the
principal points on the north of the island.
Sugar and tobacco are exported to the United States, and soap and
ice are manufactured.
The city has a beautiful plaza and its streets are wide and straight;
its buildings are large and substantial and it is surrounded by a great
number of the finest sugar plantations on the island.
The climate from December until May is dry and moderately warm,
the temperature mnging from 60^ to 78^ during the day and falling
several degrees at night. At this season almost constant winds pre-
vail from the northeast or northwest, accompanied by clouds of dust.
For the rest of the j-ear the temperature ranges from 75^ to 93^,
descending a few degrees at night.
The population in 1899 was 30,038.
Santa Clara, 13,763 inhabitants, capital of the Province of the same
name, is situated in the center of the island and has railroad connection
with all the important cities.
Sagua la Grande, Caibarien, Remedios, Trinidad, Sancti Spiritus,
Cruces, Camajuani, Placetas, and Tunas de Zaza are important cities.
PROVINCE OF CAMA6UEY.
The Province of Camaguey is bounded on the north by the channel
of Bahama, on the east by the Province of Oriento, on the south by the
Antilles Sea, and on the west by the Province of Santa Clara. It has
three judicial districts, Camaguey North, Camaguey South, and
Moron.
56 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Soil of the Quaternary period extends in a narrow strip in the
northern part of the Province and also on the south coast from the
port of Santa Cruz to Santiago de Cuba. Lands of this kind can be
found also at the mouth of the Santa Clara River.
Lands of the Tertiary formation form two parallel zones, one in the
north and the other in the south portion of the Province. The munici-
palities of Moron, Nuevitas, Ciego de Avila, and Santa Cruz are located
in said zones.
The principal products of the Province are cattle, sugar cane, wax,
honey, timber and hemp.
Camaguey, or Puerto Principe, has 25,102 inhabitants, and is the
capital of the Province of the same name. The city is connected with
the port of Nuevitas by railway and with all the other large cities of
the island by the new railroad that crosses the island through its cen-
ter, and is located in the heart of one of the wildest parts of the island,
distant 528^ miles from Habana and 47 miles from the port of Nuevitas
on the north, and about 50 from Santa Cruz on the south coast. It is
the seat of a court of appeal.
The manufacture of cigars is large; sugar, tobacco, wax, and honey
are important export articles.
Along the north coast exist three large isles known as Cayo Coco,
Cayo Romano and Guanaja, almost desert, though possessing rich soil.
They are inhabited by fishermen, and the abundance of sea birds along
the coasts is extraordinary.
" La Gloria," the American colony developed after peace was restored,
belongs to Camaguey Province.
Some of the cities are Nuevitas, Moron, Ciego de Avila, and Santa
Cruz. The first and last are situated by the sea. Cedar, mahogany,
honey, and wax are shipped to the United States to the annual value
of $300,000 to $400,000.
PROVINCE OF ORIENTE.
The Province of Oriente is bounded on the north bv the Atlantic
Ocean; on the east by El Pasode los Vientos, or Strait of Maisi, wliich
separates it from the island of Haiti or Santo Domingo; on the south
by the Straits of Colon, which separate it from Jamaica; on the west
by the Gulf of Guaycanaybo and the Province of Camaguey.
It has seven judicial districts: Norte de Cuba, 8ur de Cuba, Man-
zanillo, Bayamo, Holguin, and Baracoa, the oldest cit\' in the island,
and Guantanamo.
The soil of the Province of Oriente is of the Quaternary formation
in the northern part of the Province, extending to Mangle Point; in
the south it extends from Cape Cruz in a westerly direction to the
limits of the Province of Camaguey and again from Puerto Eseondido
to Cape Maisi.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 57
Lands of the Tertiary period exiflt all along the south coast except-
ing the portions from Puerto Escondido to Cape Maisi, which are, as
stated, of the Quaternary formation. The towns of Piedras, Jiguani,
Barajagua, and Mayari are situated on this kind of soil, as are also San
Pedro, San Marcos, and the municipality of Gibara.
Lands of the Secondary formation occupy the southern part of the
Province, from Cape Cruz to Guantanamo, and thence to the northeast
to the mountains of Toa. This is the richest mineral region in the
Province.
Lands of the Primitive formation are found only to the northeast
of the port of Manati, and in a limited district.
Igneous soil forms a wide zone embracing the municipalities of
Bayamo, Holguin, and Victoria de las Tunas; all the northern slope
of the Sierra Maestra is also of the same kind of soil, being crossed by
strips of the Secondary formation.
The principal products of the Province are minerals, coffee, sugar
cane, tobacco, cocoa, wax, honey, cocoanuts, bananas, and timber.
This Province contains the principal mountain ranges of Cuba.
Commencing at Cape Maisi the land rises in a series of irregular ter-
races of limestone rock until an elevation of alx)ut 1,500 feet is reached,
then gradually slopes upward, mingling with a series of irregular
mountains which extend from the north to the south coast. These
mountains are extremely precipitous and irregular, and are covered
with vegetation almost to the summits. They are fairly well supplied
with water by numerous small springs, but are so rough that no roads
have ever been constructed through them, and all traffic between the
north and south coast in the vicinity of Maisi, and for 80 miles to the
westward, has always been by trail. The mountains in this portion of
Cuba rise to an elevation of about 4,000 feet. Seventy miles from Cape
Maisi, on the south coast, the country flattens out and the mountains
recede from the ocean, leaving a large and comparatively level plain,
indented by a deep, irregular harbor, furnishing excellent anchorage
for any amount of shipping. This plain is known as the Guantanamo
Valley, and the harl)or is the harbor of Guantanamo. The Guanta-
namo River is a stream of considenible size and navigable for light-
draft boats for about 6 miles. It drains the mountains and country
adja<.*ent to the valley. The valley of (ruantanamo is extremely fertile,
and contains some of the largest and best sugar plantations in Cul)a.
Itetween Guantanamo and Cape Maisi, on the south coast, there are no
settlements to speak of — now and then fishermen's huts perched on the
precipitous sides of the mountains near the ocean. On the north coast,
about half a mile from the cape, is ''Cape Maisi Light," a light of the
first class.
The coast of Oriente Province, west of Guantanamo, is extremely
rough and mountainous. The mountains here reach an altitude of
58 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
5,500 feet and extend down to the sea. Between Guantanamo and
Santiago the remains of an old wagon road are seen, but it is out of
repair and extremely rough and dangerous to pass over. At a point
about 25 miles west of Guantanamo the mountains commence to bend
back from the seacoast, leaving near the sea one or two ranges of
comparatively low foothills. In the second row of these foothills are
situated the large iron mines of the Juragua and Spanish- A^merican
iron companies. The first settlement on the coast between Guanta-
namo and Santiago is Daiquiri. The Spanish-American Company's iron
mines are situated about 6 miles back from Daiquiri, at an elevation
of nearly 700 feet above the sea. A broad-gauge railroad connects
these mines with the ocean, where a large pier with extensive ore bins
has been constructed. The output of these mines is increasing, and
there seems to be comparatively no end to the ore in sight.
Eight and a half miles farther to the westwa^^d is the village of
Siboney. Running along the seacoast is a narrow-gauge railroad
belonging to the Juragua Iron C!ompany, whose mines are situated
back of Siboney, and, like those of the Spanish-American Company,
about 6 miles from the seacoast. The output of this company is large.
From Sibone)^ to Santiago there is a wagon road passing through a
rather low, swampy valley, in which were formerly some rather large
sugar plantations. Along the sides of the mountains are the sites of
many old coflfee plantations. As we approach Santiago the moun-
tains recede farther and farther from the coast, leaving another
large, irregular valley covered with rolling hills, in which are situated
the city of Santiago, the villages of Cane}', Cu))itas, Dos Bocas, Boni-
ato, and Cobre. A large portion of this valley was formerly under
cultivation, the largest plantations being sugar. The hills were cov-
ered in former times with coflfee plantations, owned and controlled
largely by Frenchmen, refugees from Haiti.
Santiago is a city of about 43,000 people, founded in 1514. It is
situated on a limestone hill, 160 feet high, and is at the northeast
extremity of the harbor. The harbor is about 4^ miles long, and
varies from a few hundred yards to a mile and a half in width. It has
suflScient water for the largest ships up to a point within half a mile
of the present wharves. It is completely landlocked and furnishes
an absolutely safe harbor. At Cobre are located large copper mines,
which formerly were famous for their large output of hiirh-<^rade
copper ore. Santiago is connected with the interior ))v a standard
gauge railroad, running through a pass in the mountains to San Luis,
and sending a branch oflf to the north and eastward to the old Saba-
nilla plantation. The entire line consists of about 45 miles of road.
The pass through which it reaches the interior is atout the only avail-
able one for a railroad, a fact which gives this road considerable
importance; this line forms part to-day of the road from Santiago to
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 59
Santa Clara. The mountains around Santiago fomi almost a contin-
uous rim. On the east the Sierra Maestre rises to an altitude of
5,600 feet. This gradually slopes down to an almost even ridge of
grass-covered hills or small mountains, varying in height from 1,000
to 1,800 feet, and rising again on the west to a height of nearly
6,000 feet. The eflfect is very pleasing, and the bay and the city
appear to be completely hemmed in by the mountains. Passing over
the lower part of the encircling range are the remains of seveml old
roads leading to the interior, which must have been built with great
labor and expense. These were constructed, some of them, over two
hundred years ago, but for the last fifty or sixty 3'ears have been
allowed to fall into almost complete ruin. One of them, the Camino
de la Lsla, or Island road, formerly ran from Santiago to Habana.
After passing over the low rim of mountains directly back of the
city, the traveler Qnds himself on the edge of the great central plateau
of this portion of Cuba. To the eastward the plateau sweeps around
the coast range of mountains connecting with the head of the Guanta-
namo Valley, gradually losing itself in the foothills of the mountains,
which cover the whole breadth of the eastern portion of the island.
To the northward it runs for nearl}' a hundred miles in an almost
unbroken succession of wonderfully rich tmets of agricultural land,
with here and there a high range of hills. It is well watered by numer-
ous streams, and presents almost limitless possibilities in the wa}' of
cultivation and development. Throughout the center of this great
plateau are still found large forests of mahogany and cedar, as well as
other valuable woods.
To the westward this valley swings around the coast range of moun-
tains and joins the great valley extending from Bayamo to Manzanillo,
and to the north and west it connects with the level rolling country of
Camaguey.
Returning to the seacoast, west of Santiago, we tind the mountains
rising to the height of over 7,000 feet and extending down to the water's
edge. In fact, from Maisi to Cape Cruz the mountains at most points
rise from the sea, which is to all intents and purposes fathomless, and
anchorages are few and far between. There are numerous small har-
bors, none of them practicable for large ships, between Santiago and
Cape Cruz, which is about 118 miles to the westward. At Cape Cruz
the coast bends sharply to the northward and the mountains fall back
from the sea. This is the commencement of the great valley or plain
of Manzanillo, which extends from the mountains on the east to the
Cauto River on the west and north, and runs inland, }>ecoming merged
in the great central plateau of the island.
Manzanillo is situated at the hea<l of the Bay or Gulf of Manzanillo
on the border of a great level and extremely fertile plain^ in which are
some of the finest sugar plantations in Cuba. Years ago a railroad
60 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
was projected and a small portion of it built from Manzanillo toward
Bayamo, but for some reason the project was abandoned. The con-
struction of this railroad will be of the greatest benefit to the country.
From Manzanillo to Bayamo the country is a level plain of great width
and wonderful richness. It will compare advantageously with the
richest adobe soil of southern California. The greatest needs here are
good wagon roads and a railroad, for, while this plain is easily tiav-
ersed in dry weather, it becomes literally impassable after a few heavy
rains. All this magnificent country is practically undeveloped. Its
extreme fertility and richness can only be appreciated by those who
have ridden over it. It is comparativelj' well watered, and is bound
in the future to become the source of great wealth and prosperity.
On the west, and sweeping completely around the head of this valley,
is the Cauto River, the largest of all the Cuban rivers, and navigable
for light-draft vessels for 60 miles from its mouth. At the head of
the valley where it joins the table-land is situated the old town of
Bayamo, a picturesque old place, now largely in ruins. It was destro^^ed
during the Ten Years' War to prevent its capture b}- the Spaniards.
Twenty miles beyond is the old town of fliguani. Years ago about
these towns were almost countless herds of cattle and horses, but these
entirely disappeared during the Ten Years' War, only to again recover
their old importance since the advent of the Republic. From Bayamo
to the north coast we have a beautiful rolling country, broken by
great forests of timber such as are found north of Santiago. Return-
ing to the north coast, and starting westward from Baracoa, we find
the coast still loft}*^ and mountainous.
Baracoa, which is 20 miles to the west of Cape Maisi, is the oldest
settlement in Cuba, and was founded in 1512 by Velasquez. The
harbor is small and comparatively shallow. The country is rough
and mountainous, but extremely picturesque and beautiful. The
principal industry is the cultivation of cocoanut^ and bananas; some
tobacco is grown, although this is limited in amount. The natives of
Baracoa are very skillful in manufacturing articles from tortoise
shell.
The first harbor of importance west of Baracoa is the Bay of Nipe.
This is probably one of the finest harbors in the world. The entnince
is narrow but deep (nearly 10 fathoms on the bar), with high cliffs on
either side. Suddenly one emerges into what seems almost like an
inland sea. This magnificent harbor is about 15 miles long and 8 or i)
miles wide. It is completely sheltered from the ocean by a high
range of hills, which shut it off entirelv from view. Flowing into it
are two comparatively large streams, the large one known as the
Mayari River. This river is navigable for boats and scows for about
15 miles, up to the town of Maj^ari. About Mayari are some of the
best tobacco lands in Cuba; also large forests of hard wood. The

country is wonderfully fertile, and presents great opportunities for
the enterprising agriculturist and investor. Almost any kind of fruit
can be grown here in the greatest abundance. Commencing at the
Bay of Nipe the mountains recede from the ocean and practically come
to an end, so far as their extension westward is concerned. They
swing south and gradually merge into the central plain. The country
about Nipe and farther on to the border of Camaguey is low and
rolling, and in former times was the seat of great tobacco and sugar
plantations, as well as the cultivation of bananas.
The next port westward of Nipe is Banes — another excellent harbor,
much like Nipe, but smaller and difficult to enter on account of strong
currents. The entrance is deep, narrow, and boixiered by high cliffs,
and is known as the Canyon of Banes. This entrance is about 3 miles
long, and suddenly merges into the beautiful harbor. The vicinity of
Banes is one of the greatest banana-producing districts in Cuba, and
it is not unusual to load a steamer a day with this fruit.
The land all about this ba\^ is very much like that about the Bay of
Nipe. It is wonderfully ricTi and will grow, generally speaking, any-
thing which can be grown in the Tropics. From Banes a standard-
gauge railroad runs up to the plantations.
About 6 miles from the port is the little town of Banes. This town,
like most others in this section of Cuba, was almost entirely destroyed
during the war, but is now built up. All this section presents splendid
opportunities for investment.
Still farther to the westward we come to the harlwr of Vita, with its
deep, narrow entrance, like all the eastern harbors of Cuba. Once
inside one tinds an absolutely quiet, landlocked harbor, at the head of
which is situated the terminus of the Santa Lucia liailroad and the
large warehouse and storehouses of the great Santa Lucia sugar plan-
tation. A stundard-gauge railroad runs from the dock to the planta-
tion and to its various cane fields. This estate has on it some 25 or 30
miles of railroad, and has within its limits 110,000 acres of land, many
thousand of which are under sugar-cane cultivation. In the town of
Santa Lucia, situated near the great central mill, are over 3,000 inhab-
itants, made up entirely of the employees of the estate and their fami-
lies. It is quite worth a trip to Cuba to go over this sugar plantation
and study the scientific methods employed.
Still farther to the westward is the old town of (Jibara. The harbor
of Gibara is of fair size. On the town side the depth of water is not
sufficient for large ships, and all cargoes have to be discharged by
lightering. The town is a quaint and picturesque old Spanish town,
entirely inclosed by a wall, along which are scattered masonry block-
bouses. This town, or port, has been for yeara the port of entry for
all the northern portion of the Province of Oriente.
62 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Twenty miles in the interior is situated the old town of Holguin,
connected with Gibara by a narrow-gauge road in good condition and
repair. Gibara has always been largely commercial. Holguin, on
the contrary, in the midst of an agricultural and grazing country, is
dependent on these industries for its resources. About Holguin, as
elsewhere in the Province, there is evidence of an extensive ruin and
destruction wrought by the wars, and here, also, the cattle and agri-
cultural industries are but now recovering. The town is situated in a
rolling, barren country, reminding one very much of certain sections
in New Mexico. In former times small amounts of gold were washed
in the streams near Holguin, and now and then reports* are circulated
relating to the rediscoveries of old placer mines. Holguin is con-
nected with Bayamo by a passable road.
Passing westward from Gibara, the next port of importance is
Puerto Padre. Here we have another of those magnificent Cuban
harbors, with its deep narrow entrance and extensive inner harbor.
Puerto Padre is at the head of the harbor and is a small and compara-
tively prosperous village. The country back of Puerto Padre is low
and rolling and has several large sugar plantations. Central Chaparra,
one of the largest sugar plantations of (>uba, has recently been erected
in this neighborhood, employing over 4,000 laborers of all kinds.
About 40 miles inland is the old town of Victoria de las Tunas.
This town was practically destroyed during the recent war. The
country all through this section is low and rolling and suitable for
either grazing or agriculture.
Taken as a whole the Province of Oriente presents wonderful oppor-
tunities for industrious Americans. The country is healthy. Sun-
stroke is unknown; heat prostration is rare. It is necessary to avoid
working in the middle of the day, especially during the first year or
two of one's residence on the island.
Along the northern coast of the Province rain falls every month in
the year, although the same general conditions apply there as on the
south coast — that is, the rainy season commences in the latter part of
April or early May, and it is indicated by an occasional heavy rain at
rather long intervals. In June there is temporary cessation in the
rainfall^ and in July the real rainy season commences and almost daily
rains can be expected until the latter part of August or middle of Sep-
tember. These rains are not long continued, but are shaip and sudden,
followed by a fair sky and sunshine. They may occur only once a day
or possibly several times. On the south coast the late fall, winter, and
spring months are practically without rain. The real rainy season
commences at the same time as on the north coast and has the
same duration. The rainfall in the interior during the rainy season is
much more heavy and constant than on either coast and pours in tor-
"ents. On the seacoast the rains are unusually short and sharp.
HAITDBOOK OP CUBA. 63
The general character of the soil ii^ the extreme eastern end of the
Province is rocky and barren, except in the narrower valleys between
the mountains, where it is extremely rich but very limited in extent.
Fartlier westward we enter upon the rich plains of Guantanamo, Man-
zanillo, Bayamo, etc. ; we find a rich adobe soil of great depth and of
almost inexhaustible richness. Through the interior of the island this
same characteristic obtains, only now and then do we find the clay or
loam cropping out. Generally speaking, it can be said that all com-
pu-atively level tracts of land are highly fertile. As to the products
of the soil, almost all vegetables grow rapidly and quickly, but lose
flavor unless fresh seeds are brought in every two or three years.
The tropical fruits all grow in the greatest abundance — especially is
this true of the different kind of bananas. Cocoanuts grow in the
greatest abundance, also figs, although no attention is paid to their
cultivation. Limes and lemons grow wild, as do many tropical fruit«
unknown to us, such as the nispero, anoncillo, sapote, mamey, plan-
tain, guanabana, caimito, anon, pineapple, and oranges; also the much
abused mango in unlimited quantities. Ordinary "garden truck"
grows with great rapidity and is of good quality, but like the vege-
tables and seeds should be changed frequently. Oranges of excellent
quality grow wild.
There is every reason to believe that the very best quality of
oranges can be grown here, and that there is a great future for the
orange industry. Excellent tobacco is also grown all about the Bay
of Nipe and along the Mayari Rivei^t This tobacco is rated second
only to the best Pinar del Rio tobacco. Sugar, of course, had been
for many years the principal product of the soil. The larger sugar
estates are at Guaatanamo, at San Luis and vicinity on the plateau
back of Santiago, at Manzanillo, and along the north coast of Vita and
Puerto Padre, etc. At these large plantations are found mgdern
machinery and appliances, and the development of the sugar industi'y
is carried on upon a strictly scientific basis. The land is largely loaned
to the workingmen, who agree to turn in tte cane at the "centml" or
mill of the owner of the land. He pays them not by the gross weight
of the cane, but in accordance with the percentage of sugar the cane
produces. This is an incentive, of course, to produce the very best
kind of cane. All through the extreme eastern part of the island,
along the mountain ranges and hillsides, are the remains of almost
numberless coffee plantations. This was formerly a great industry in
eastern Cuba, but like almost everything else it was totally destroyed
by the Ten Years' War and the recent war. These plantations were
principally established by French refugees from Haiti, Vho came to
Cuba after the rising of the negroes against their French masters.
These coffee plantations were a great source of revenue to their
owners and to the State for many years. The coffee grown was of
64 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
excellent quality and, like the l^t grades of the present Porto Rican
coffee, commanded very high prices in the markets of Europe. The
cocoa was also grown extensively by these same Frenchmen, cocoa and
coffee bushes being cultivated together, the former furnishing the
necessary shade for the latter. All over the mountains one iinds the
ruins of coffee plantations and all through the valleys the ruins of
sugar plantations.
The Province of Orients includes the richest mineral region in the
island of Cuba. The deposits of iron, copper, and manganese have
long been known and have been extensively and sucxiesafully worked.
In addition to the minerals mentioned there are found zinc and lead.
The deposits of copper in the vicinity of Cobre were formerly
worked with great success, but for many years nothing has been pro-
duced from them.
The iron mines near Daiquiri and Jaragua have been successfully
producing for several years and continue to be worked. Considerable
deposits of manganese exist in the neighborhood of Songo and Socorro
and are profitably worked now.
The deposits of zinc, lead, and other ores have not been exploited.
Coal of poor quality exists in small deposits. Evidences of petroleum
have been found in the western part of the Province, near the south
coast. Asphaltic rock, believed to be suitable for paving and similar
purposes, has been found but has never been utilized. Gold was for-
merly produced in small quantities, but no paying deposits are now
known to exist.
Santiago de Cuba, the capital of the Province, has a fine harbor,
beautiful drives, and rich mines of iron, copper, and manganese in its
immediate neighborhood.
There are a number^of tobacco factories, but the chief business is the
exportation of raw materials, and the importation of manufactured
goods and provisions. Sugar, iron ore, manganese, copper, coffee,
cocoa, fruits, and timber are the principal products.
The city is full of historical interest; the battles of San Juan and
Caney, the peace tree, and the remains of the Spanish squadron, de-
stroyed outside of the harbor of Santiago, have made it a most inter-
esting place to visit for Americans.

REVIEW OF THE AGRICULTURAL WEALTH.
Cuba is essentially an agricultural country, and prior to the last war
there were nearly a hundred thousand (90,960) plantations, farms,
orchards, and cattle ranges, valued at 220,000,000 pesos ($200,000,000).
Of manufactories there were practically none, if we except the cigar
factories and the sugar mills producing raw sugar, molasses, and rum.
In early colonial days the prtticipal industry was cattle raising, very
little attention being paid to agriculture for two hundred and fifty
years after the settlement of the island. The chief agricultural prod-
ucts of Cuba are sugar, tobacco, and fruit, and the cultivation of
oranges for exportation has of late augmented. Very little more cof-
fee is cultivated than is required for home consumption, although it
was once a promising industry. The soil and climate of the eastern
Provinces are well adapted to the growth of the coffee berry, and it is
said to equal in flavor the best coffee of the West India Islands. No
doubt coffee culture will again be revived and extensively developed,
and we may expect to see in Cuba a revival of the once famous
**cafetales," or coffee plantations.
Fruits and vegetables of all kinds are being exported in large quan-
tities, especialh' pineaples, cocoanuts, bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
The Cuban potato, hitherto unknown to the world, has made its
appearance in the United States markets during the last few years,
and is already a dreaded rival of the once famous Bermuda tuber.
The fact that frost is unknown hi Cuba, which greatly diminishes
the dangers to the crops, and the unquestionable excellence of the
Cuban fruits and vegetables, are all-powerful factors, which will
no doubt contribute toward the spreading of the Cuban fruit and
vegetable trade.
169a— 05 5 ^
66 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
The island of Cuba can not be divided properly into agricultural
zones or sections, as is the case on the continents, principally Europe,
not only on account of the comparatively small area of its territory,
but above all, due to the uniformity of its climate, the nature of its
soil, and many other causes that have an influence on vegetable life;
therefore it is not possible to assign a special region to cane or another
to tobacco, for, although the finest tobacco leaf is confined to limited
localities in Pinar del Rio, this plant as well as sugar cane is cultivated
all over the island with more or less success.
LANDS.
CLASSIFICATION AND VALUE.
The cultivable lands of Cuba contain all the elements necessary
for the richest and most varied vegetation, and are classified by the
natives according to their composition, color and aspect, as red, black,
mulatto (a mixture of both colors), and white clayey (a calcareous
whitish clay); the red earth is subdivided by the natives into rocky
and dusty; but soil, according to its composition, may be devided into
four different classes, siliceous, clayey, calcareous, and alluvial.
The black, red, and mulatto lands are the best for all kinds of plant-
ing, the sandy soil of certain localities being preferred for tobacco, as
it produces the finest and most aromatic leaf.
The value of land depends upon mpny and varied circumstances,
the principal being its proximity to settled portions of the country,
the facilities for communication and transportation, the class of
products to which it can be devoted, nature of the soil and altitude,
whether well watered or not, and lastly the quantity of land desired;
hence values can not be considered except as approximate. However,
taking as a basis tracts of less than 8 or 10 caballerias (a caballeria is
equal to 33.16 acres or 13.42 hectares) and under the conditions set
forth, it can be safely stated that in the Province of Pinar del Rio
there are lands worth $200 a caballeria; but when it is desired to pur-
chase a portion of its celebrated "vegas" or tobacco farms, a high
price must be paid. The value of lands in Habana Province is
between ^00 and $2,000 the caballeria, but those situated in the
municipal districts of Gfiines, many of which are irrigated, of course
obtain still higher prices.
Lands in Santa Clara and Matanzas Provinces vary from $300 to
$800 a caballeria, and in Camagiiey and Oriente between $100 and
$800. If large tracts are purchased these prices fall sometimes to
less than $100 a caballeria.
The wooded lands of the Republic of Cuba comprise a considerable
urea, and can be calculated approximately at. 109,422 caballerias, or
1,4()8,443 hectares, 3,628,433.52 acres, of which 13 per cent are found
in Pinar del Rio Province, 3 per cent in Habana, 3 per cent in Matan-
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 67
zas, 12.5 per cent in Santa Clara, 34 per cent in Camaguey and 34.5
per cent in Oriente.
These wooded lands, many of them unexplored forests, contain tim-
ber of all kinds, valuable for building purposes, the bark for tanning,
the fibers for the rope industry, and the gum or resin for commercial
uses. There are also fruit trees and others producing seeds used for
the manufacture of oil.
In the above are included about 496,540 hectares (1,226,950.34 acres),
33.82 per cent of the total area, considered as public forest lands,
which formerly were not subject to sale or rent; but according to a
recent law, passed January 30 of the present year, the President of
the Republiff has been empowered to sell at public auction waste and
unsettled lands belonging to the Government not used by the same
and inscribed in the public registers as Government property. In
payment of these lands the certificates of warrants issued according to
the law of July 24, 1903, to the soldiers of the war for independence,
will be accepted.
The lands above referred to are divided as follows among the
Provinces:
Hectares. Acres.
Oriente 210,200=519,204.2
Camaguey (Puerto Principe) ^5,680= 88,165.20
Santa Clara 124, 6H0 =308, 034. 80
Matanzaa 46,000=113,666.00
Habana 20,(XX)= 49,420.00
PinardelRio 60,00(^=148,260.00
A portion of these forest lands is under the jurisdiction of the
department of agriculture, and has not beeii surveyed, and a portion
under the department of finance. Parts of these lands have been
rented and others have l)een disposed of in the form of grants, the
Government holding an unlimited mortgage or ''censo,'' with interest
at 5 per cent per annum, upon the value fixed for said lands.
The income derived from the exploitiition by private parties of forest
rights and privileges granted b}- the Government was, during the last
fiscal year, $3,478.20, as against 5^:^97.50 the preceding year. The
former consisted mainly in the extraction of lumber, principally
mahogany and cedar, firewood and charcoal, and barks for tanning
purposes.
The average price obtained for lum})er varies according to the kind
of wood, the principal being mahogany and cedar, worth, say, $27 to
$100 and $25 to $50 per 100 feet, respectively, according to the grade
and Province where the sale is made. Jucaro and. Yaba are worth $7
per 100 feet; Ayua, $15 per 100 feet; Granadillo, Yamaguey, and Cerilla,
$25 to $30 a ton.
The quintal (100 pounds) of mangrove leaves is paid at from 25 cents
to $1.18, and the bark from 79 cent^ to $1.41.
68 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
SYSTEM OP CULTIVATION.
In Cuba, as in every new country, where there are extensive tracts
of unexplored lands, the system of planting over an extended area
prevails. The first plantings are made on cleared lands. The timber
from these clearings is used for fuel or charcoal. The fields are
burned during the dry season, leaving a layer of ashes or mineral
substances on the ground.
When the rainy season sets in and the ground has received sufficient
moisture to favor the germination of plants, holes are made with the
*'jan" (a pointed instrument of native construction made of hard
wood), or with a spade, and in the holes are placed a piece of cane, an
offshoot of the banana, a tuber of the yucca, a sweet-potato vine, a
part of a potato, grains of corn, etc. ; in other words, whatever plant
it is desired to cultivate.
In this manner the crops are obtained, their number varying
according to the natural fertility of the soil and the requirements of
the plant that has been set out. The soil naturally grows less pro-
ductive as the elements taken from it by the crops are not returned
to it; and after a time it is necessary to plow it, in order that its pro-
ductive elements may be again in condition to be assimilated. But
when these elements have been consumed by a series of crops the soil
will become unproductive or " tired," as the natives call it, and it
becomes necessary to return to the earth its strength by the use of
fertilizers, or to abandon its cultivation. The latter is the course gen-
rally pursued, and another clearing is made in the forest and the same
system gone over again. This has been properly called by the great
agriculturist Liebig '' a system of cultivation by expoliation," because
it contributes to the living of the present at the expense of future
generations. The fact is that in the island of Cuba, a country thinly
populated and with great tracts of imcultivated territor}", there is a
total want of proportion between the three factors of agricultural
production — an extensive territory, with a small amount of capital and
labor — and it is only logical that the area cultivated is very much
extended with corresponding dissemination of the remaining elements,
obtaining the smallest results.
For this condition of affairs to change it is necessary to do every-
thing possible to increase the population of the island and that agri-
cultural experiment st^itions be established where investigations can
be made for the purpose of arriving at a |)erfect knowledge of its ter-
ritory, its adaptability to agriculture, and of the systems to be applied
for the improvement of the plants at present under cultivation; and
onl\' in this way will the island of Cuba modify its present extensive
system of planting changing to an intensive system by which the max-
imum amount of production can be obtained from the minimum area
cultivated.
BAISTDBOOK OF CUBA. 69
The Grovemment with a view to contributing to these results, and
finding that the industrial school which had been established at San-
tiago de las Vegas did not fill any practical end as such, or considered
as a charitable institution, proposed to the Cuban Congress in Novem-
ber, 1908, to transform the school into an agricultural experiment
station, and for that purpose an appropriation of $75,000 was made in
the budget approved in January of last year. This useful plan
is now being carried into effect under the able management of
Mr. Frank S. Elarle, agricultural expert attached to the Department
of Agriculture of the United States, who has been engaged to organ-
ize, direct, and manage the Cuban agricultural experiment station.
For the present it is proposed to divide the work into six departments,
as follows: General agriculture, animal industry, including veterinary
science, horticulture, biology, a study of the chemical and phj'sical
conditions of the soil, botany, and vegetable pathology, including
entomology.
This first station once established and in running order, its success
will show the advisability of creating others, e^specially in those sec-
tions of the country adapted to the production of cei^tain kinds of
plants, and these in turn will operate as auxiliaries to the central sta-
tion at Santiago de las Vegas.
CULTIVATION IN THE PROVINCES.
Toward the western and southeni portions of the Province of
Habana, in the municipal districts of Alquizar and Guira de Melena,
may be found red lands where excellent tobacco, known as ''partido"
(tobacco cultivated outside of the tobacco zone proper), is raised, as
well as coffee, bananas, and oranges. Toward the eastern and cen-
tral portions of the same Province in Guines, Melena del Sur, Nueva
Paz, and San Nicolas, exist lands of black earth that give a very good
quality of cane. Irrigation is practiced upon a small scale in Guines;
and vegetables, greens, potatoes, and onions are raised in abundance,
supplying Habana's market with the last two named during the season
when they can not be imported.
The municipalities of Jovellanos, Corral Falso, Perico, Bolondron,
and Union de Reyes, possess red lands of a very good quality suitable
for the cultivation of sugar cane, coffee, oranges, bananas, and vegeta-
bles. In Alacranes, Jague}- Grande, Maximo Gomez, and Limonar
may be found lands with clayey— siliceous, chalks-damp, black, or
mulatto soils, quite deep and suitable for cane, with the exception of
a few that are somewhat damp or moist.
Great floods occur at times at Carlos Kojas and San Jose de los
Ramos during years of heavy rains, owing to the risings of the rivers
that cross that region, many of which are subterranean.
In conclusion, the principal products of Matanzas Province are
sugar, alcohol, and several kinds of building woods.
70 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
The Tertiary lands of Pinar del Rio Province, which are composed
of a siliceous-clayey-chalky-damp soil, are considered the best for
the cultivation of tobacco, particularly in the southern portion, where
the most famous tobacco plantations are situated.
The Secondary lands are of poor quality, only some coffee being
cultivated thereon and are used mostly for stock raising.
The principal products of the Province of Santa Clara are sugar
cane, tobacco, corn, bananas, honey, beeswax, and alcohol.
Cattle breeding constitutes the principal source of wealth of Cama-
guey, although sugar cane is cultivated, as well as hemp. Some
attention id paid to bee culture.
The principal products of the Province of Oriente are coffee, cocoa,
and sugar cane, excepting various large tracts in the Baracoa districts,
which are devoted to the cultivation of bananas for export to the
United States.
SALE OF RURAL PROPERTY.
If title to the property is clear and it is presented according to law,
any encumbrance said property may have must be certified to b}^ the
recorder of deeds where the farm is registered; with this proof in
hand, the deed is issued before a notary public, canceling the mort-
gages if desired or acknowledging them in the property bought and
sold. The deed is then presented in the treasury for the payment of
the fees for transferring the property, and it is then taken to the
recorder of deeds for reference.
The fiscal fee is 1 per cent on the amount of the sale. The notary's
fee for acknowledging the deed amounts to $8 per $1,000, and that for
recording same varies according to the value of the estate, subject to
the tariff annexed to the mortgage law in force at the time.
In addition to the above charges the only items of expense to be
paid are those occasioned upon the issuance of the certificate by the
recorder of deeds, required before the deed is made out in order to
ascertain whether it is encumbered or not. The fee charged for this
instrument is also mentioned in the tariff and depends upon the number
of entries that are to be searched by the recorder.
The proceedings above set forth are those generally followed in
transactions in buying and selling rural lands already surveyed and
marked out, as are almost all existing in the Provinces of Habana,
Matanzas, and Pinar del Rio; but there are a great many in the Prov-
inces of Oriente, Camaguey, and Santa Clara known as ''haciendas
conmneras" (property held in common) that, inasnnich as they lack as
yet donmrcation, and belong jointly to several owners in proportion
to the amount of capital recognized in each in the property, can only
be acijuirod through other and more complicated proceedings requiring
the advice jf persons well versed in the matter.

CONDITION.
In regard to the condition in which these public landn are, it must
be stated that the limits or boundaries are not fixed, and in consequence
they have not been entered in the registry of property (registro de la
propiedad).
.These lands are covered with forests, and as most of them are
situated in the interior of the island no availments can he made owing
to the absence of roads. Some of the public lands under the care of
the department of finance are rented and other portions have been
ceded to private parties in consideration of an annual tribute of 5 per
cent of the value assigned to each caballeria (83 acTCs).
OLD CONCI':SSION8.
When Spain took possession of the island of Cul)a large portions of
lands were ceded to the Spanish settlers with the ol)joct of promoting
the breeding of cattle of every kind. These concessions wore called
'^mercedes" and were granted by the municipalities from the year
1550 to 1729, when further grants were prohi})ite(l. At first the
geometric form and the surface of the lands ceded wen* unknown, the
word "sabana" being used to express the concession of the land
granted for breeding large cattle, and the word ^'sitio'' for those
granted for breeding swine and other minor cattle.
In 1579 it was agreed to fix the boundaries of these lands, and the
circular form was adopted, allowing a nidius of 1 Cuban league to the
"corraP (-4:21^ caballerias, or 5,651 hectares = 13,958 acre-i) and 2
leagues to the radius of the "'hato'' (l,0S4i caballerias, or 22.r>()(j

stituted for **8abana'' and "'sitio."'

divided. The most important Provinces in this respect are Oriente
and Santa Clara. In the aforementioned area are included the forest
of the littoral and those on the isles and keys surrounding the island,
the main production of which is wood for fuel and bark and leaves of
the red noiangrove; also "pataban," used for tanning purposes. The
timber forests of the property of the municipality of Jiguani, with an
area of 46,759 hectares (115,591 acres), have also been included, as

FOREST PRODUCTS.
Lumber (mahogany and cedar principally) to the value of nearly
$3,000,000 has been cut, and over $2,000,000 worth exported, of which
about $1,250,000 worth went to the United States and the rest chiefly
to Gennany and England. Dyes to the value of $100,000 are exported
to Russia, France, and Germany, and textile fibers to the approximate
value of $160,000 are shipped to Italy, Germany, and France. In
forest products considerable increase is noted in exports. Since 1899
they have been as follows: 1899, $1,059,900; 1900, §1,265,400; 1901,
$1,356,100; 1902, $1,874,800; 1903, $2,528,600, and 1904 about
$2,400,000.
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTIONS.
The two principal staples of the Island, for the remarkable excel-
lence of which it has had a world-wide renown ever since the very
incipiencj^ of commercial enterpri^e on the part of the inhabitants, are
sugar and tobacco.
SUGAR.
The sugar of Cuba, is entirely the product of the sugar-cane plant,
and is of a uniformly sui^rior quality. The (*ane is not indigenous to
Cuba, but was introduced soon after the discovery of the island and
proved exceedingl}' congenial to its soil. Detailed statements and fig-
ures showing the growth of the sugar industry of Cuba ai-e to be found
elsewhere in this volume. Although prosecuted for centuries the indus-
try has received its main development since about 1830, since which
year the annual production of sugar in the island has mounted from
aboat 100,000 tons to about 1,000,000 tons. Sugar is nii»^ ^x^M^^
74 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
generally all over the island, but the bulk of the product comes from
the five Provinces — Habana, Matanzas, Santa Clam, and Camaguey and
Oriente. The plant flourishes luxuriantly as a rule, with compara-
tively little care or encouragement, and replanting becomes necessary
only once every ten or fifteen years, on an average, so that agricultu-
rally the crop is raised easily and cheaply; but the preparation of the
crop for market is expensive in comparison, involving as it does hard
labor in harvesting, the building of grinding mills, the purchase of
costly machinery for making the sugar and for handling and trans-
porting the product, the expenses of shipment, etc.
The cost of raising a pound of sugar in Cuba ma}^ be said to be,
speaking roughly, 1 cent, and the cost of manufacturing and trans-
porting it to seaboard under present conditions 1 cent more, so that
the total cost of production of sugar in Cuba, from the planting to
the shipment at Habana, is about 2 cents a pound — not less than that,
and perhaps on the average a little more. The whole process of pro-
duction involves and includes the purchase or lease of the land, the
hire of laborers and their housing and sustenance, the clearing away
and breaking up of the fields, the purchase of the original cane plants
and their renewal from time to time, the planting, the cultivating, the
weeding, the harvesting, the procurement of agricultural tools, imple-
ments and machines for these undertakings, the erection of buildings
for storing and sheltering the stalks, the construction of roads oi* pri-
vate railways for transporting the same from the fields or farms to the
mills, the vehicles, cars, animals, or locomotives for use in tmnspor-
tation, the building of mills and their equipment with their various
kinds of necessary sugar machinery; repairs, salaries of mill operatives,
loading and freight to seaboard, insurance, and interest on investment.
The wonder is that the total cost can be reduced to the nuxlerate figure
of 2 cents a pound. In the old times the cost was much greater. It
is only within a comparatively recent period that sugar could be pro-
duced in Cuba, or anywhere else, for anything like that amount of
money. In the case of Cuba, this low cost has been made possible
of late years b}- the application of improved machinery and methods of
cultivation and manufacture, by the improved conditions of tlic local
labor market, l)y the cessation of strife and war, and })y the abolition
of the oppressive taxes and inequitable tariff restrictions imposed upon
the Cubans for many generations by their former rulers. The new
era of improvement has only just begun; and it is the concurrent
opinion of all the best-informed observers that with the additional
improvements which maybe certainly expected soon to follow — tlie
reconstruction of the plantations ravaged by war, the establishment of
new ones, the liquidation of old loans and other debts incurred under
the former r%ime, and the more general adoption of the up-to-date
machinery and industrial methods — the cost of production will be still
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 76
further reduced. Improved roads and transportation facilities will
probably also reduce the cost of transportation.
It is also worthy of consideration that, although nearly the whole
island is well suited for the successful raising of sugar cane of the best
quality, the largest crop ever produced on the island — that of 1894 —
was raised on plantations covering about 2,000,000 acres, or only about
one-fourteenth of the total acreage of Cuba. Owing to the terrible
devastation wrought during the years of the recent revolution, many
plantations were abandoned or greatly crippled, and the recovery from
these ravages is by no means yet complete, so that the present sugar
acreage is somewhat less than the acreage of 1894. Considering this
fact, and also the other fact that without doubt at least 5,000,000 acres
of the island might quickly and easily be turned into first-class sugar
plantations, in addition to the plantations already existing and in oper-
ation, and granting that all these plantations be managed on the most
approved modern systems, the imagination is dazzled by the contem-
plation of what Cuba would be capable of doing in the sugar-producing
line in the near future.
But whatever amount of sugar the Cubans might produce, there
would l3e no advantage from the industry to them unless they could
sell the crop for more than the crop cost them to produce. This they
were not aWe to do during the seasons of 1902 and 1903, owing to the
fall in the price of sugar in the world's markets since 19()0 and 1901,
consequent upon the great increase in the output of beet sugar in those
years, and the general overproduction of sugar of all kinds. In order
for the Cuban plantei^s to attain real prosperity and success, they must
manage to produce and market their crops at a cost per j)ound lower
than the prevailing market price per pound, or the prevailing price
must return to the figures which were the rule })efore the present
period of depression.
The total number of plantations and farms of all sorts in Cuba just
prior to the late war was 90,960, but in 1S99, just after the war, the
number was only 60,711. These figures furnish a significant illustra-
tion of the blighting effect of such a civil conflict. Since 189t) the
number has no doubt materially increased, though no census has been
taken since that year, and the increase is believed to be steadily pro-
ceeding, owing to the rocuperative energy of the Cubans themselves,
and also to the accession of immigrants and capital from other coun-
tries, and principally from the United States. In the antebellum
times the onerous burdens of taxation had a tendency to keep down
the size of farms. The local designation for the standard-size small
farm of 33i acres is "caballeria,-' but according to the last census 63^
per cent of the farms and plantations of Cuba were less than one-
quarter of a caballeria in dimensions, while the large plantations of 10
caballerias and over (333 acres and over) were only 5 per cent of the
76 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
whole number of farms. This latter class includes, however, a num
ber of very large plantations, of from 5,000 to 25,000 acres or
over. The original and most natural system of producing sugar was
for the farmers to raise the cane and to grind it themselves; but this
has been superseded by the system of colonias, or cane farms, which
raise cane to be transported to the large and expensive mills, to be
ground and turned into sugar and molasses. Some of the larger and
more successful planters, however, when they can command the requi-
site funds for the outlay, unite both branches of the process — the
agricultural branch and the manufacturing branch — on their own
premises. Such plantations, equipped with the buildings and appa-
ratus necessary for the manufacture of sugar and molasses, are called
"ingenios," while ^'centrales" is the name given to such ingenios as
have concentrated from several comparatively small ingenios into one
large one. *
The improvements that have been gradually introduced in the
process of sugar production in Cuba during the last few years or
decades include the introduction of steam power in the fields and in
the mills, labor-saving machines of various kinds, improved furnaces,
clarifiers, grinding machines, defibrators, defecators, vacuum pans,
centrifugal separators, and other modern sugar machinery, cane car-
riers and railway tracks through the fields for moving the crops to the
mills, chemical laboratories, cane loaders and unloaders, electric-light
plants in the mills, and a large variety of novel improvements, tools,
fertilizers, and systems of cultivation. These improvements have
become available mainly of late, since the abolition of the excessive
Spanish taxes and the reduction of tariff rates.
As is commonly the case in agricultural operations everywhere, the
size and quality of the cane crops vary greatly according to the fer-
tility of the soil and the ability of the planter. The usual range is
from 12 to 50 tons of cane for the yield of 1 acre. The average is
about 25 tons of cane, or about 2^ tons of sugar per acre. The plant
matures in the autumn or early winter, according as it is early or late
planted, and is harvested and ground all along through the months
from December to May.
In considering the figures as to the acreage of the cane plantations of
Cuba, it must be borne in mind that not by any means the w^hole area
of these plantations is devoted to cane culture. The larger part of
every plantation, in all probability, is utilized for building sites, gar-
dens, the raising of vegetables, fruits, tobacco, and other crops besides
sugar, pasturage for cattle, the growth of timber, etc. At the same
time it is essentially a sugar plantation, as sugar production is its main
activity and main source of revenue. So, in like manner, the cotton
plantations of the Southern States and the hop farms of central New
York are not devoted exclusively to the raising of cotton and hops, and
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 77
the areas actually covered by cotton and hops in those plantations or
farms are probably in most cases only a small fraction of the whole
estates. So when it is stated, as above, that the sugar crop of 1894,
amounting to little over 1,000,000 tons, was raised on about 2,000,000
acres, the meaning is that it was raised on plantations covering that
acreage. In point of fact the actual acreage of the cane fields them-
selves was only about 400,000 or 450,000 acres. A crop of 1,000,000
tons raised on 400,000 acres, as will be seen, gives an average yield of
2i tons of sugar an acre.
The fluctuations of the sugar crops in point of size have been occa-
sioned not only by the causes just indicated, but also by wars, hurri-
canes, and the Cubans' political and economic conditions. Thus the
crop of 1853 was 322,000 tons; the crop of 1868, at the beginning of
the Ten Years' War, 749,000 tons; the '"^hurricane" crop of 1871,
547,000 tons; the crop of 1878, at the end of that war, 533,000 tons;
the crop of 1883, under unsatisfactory political conditions, 460,000 tons;
the crop of 1894, just before the last revolution, 1,054,000 tons; the
crop of 1897, in the midst of the revolution, 212,000 tons; the
''drought" crop of 1900, 308,000 tons, and the crop of 1903, about
975,000 tons; the crop of 1904 over 1,100,000 tons, and 1905 about the
same amount.
According to the 1899 census, 47 per cent of the entire cultivated
area of the island was planted in sugar cane. It is believed that the
same proportions still obtain — in other words, that practically'' half of
the cultivated lands of Cuba are given over to sugar production.
That would make the entire cultivated area in the island about 1,000,000
acres. To this must be added the areas of the cities and large towns,
and the very large areas devoted to pasturage. Exact figures as to
the latter are lacking, but the best estimates unite in stating the total
area of developed land, including cities, towns, villages, farms, planta-
tions, and pasturages, as being about 14,000,000 acres, or just about
one-half of the island. That would leave the other undeveloped half,
of the same extent, for future exploitation. As already said, that
half is for the most part as capable of high development as the already
developed half. It is covered in most localities at present with for-
ests of a very vahiable description, and is known to contain much
precious mineral material.

The following statement as to the Cuban sugar industry is taken
from the appendix to a report made to the Secretary of the Treasury
by Hon. Robert P. Porter, special commissioner of the United States
to Cuba, in June, 1899. His conclusions seem as well warranted now
as then, notwithstanding the intervening fall in the market price of
sugar.
Although it made so early a start in the history of American agriculture, the sugar
industry in Cuba languished for two hundred years. The annual output during that
time was only about 28,000 tons. A quarter of a century later it reached 75,000 tons.
The middle of the nineteenth century saw it at 250,000 tons, and in 1894 it passed the
minion mark. * ♦ * With millions of acres of the richest and best cane land on
the globe yet untouched by the plow, with a climate unsurpassed for the growth and
development of sugar cane, and with a prestige for Cuban sugar second to none in
the markets of the world, the future of Cuba's sugar presents a possibility of wealth
surpassing the richness of the gold and silver which came to Columbus in the mar-
velous tales of the interior of the magnificent island which he had discovered.
Recurring to the effect of the rebellion of 1895-1898 on the sugar industry, it is
appalling to contemplate the dreadful decrease in a country's chief source of wealth
and income to the Government, as well as to the individual. In 1894 the output
was 1,054,214 tons, and the following year, under the first touch of war and its
alarms, the crop dropped off 50,000 tons, though it remained still above the million.
This was the second year in Cuban sugar history that the million mark was passed.
In 1896 the war was raging all over the island, and, with the Spaniards on one side
taking men and cattle and the insurgents on the other burning cane and buildings
and stealing stock, the sugar planter was utterly obliterated in some sections and 8o
badly crippled in others that the output reached only 225,221 tons, the lowest figure
known in fifty years. Nor was this astounding decrease a matter of gradual accom-
plishment, permitting the country, the business, and the people to accommo<iate
themselves to the changed conditions, but it happened almost in a night, and an
income from sugar of $80,000,000 a year dwindled on the instant to $16,000,0(X), a
loss of $64,000,000 at once as the result of Spanish mismanagement.
As a cane-sugar producing country, nature has made Cuba superior to any com-
petitor which may appear; but all sugar does not come from cane, and since 1840,
when the first record of beet sugar appeared, with 50,000 tons for the year's output
for the world, as against 1,100,000 tons of cane sugar, about 200,000 tons of which
was raise<l in Cuba, the sugar growers of the island have had their only dangerous
rival. * * * With the gro>\*th of the sugar production in Cuba have come newer
and better methods; and whereas in 1825 the largest plantations rarely exceeded
1,500 acres in extent, producing only 'SbO tons per year, with a total value of land,
buildings, machinery, stock, and slaves of, say, $500,000, * * * in these later
times there are plantations of 25,000 acres, representing an investment of $2,000,000.
Market facilities, — The principal sugar plantations in the Province
of Oriente are located near the seashore in the municipalities of
Manzanillo, Guantanamo, and Puerto Padre; and in the Province
of Camagiiey they are situated near Nuevitas. They use the maritime
way for transportation of products.
In the western Provinces those located near the seashore utilize the
maritime way, but the greater number of them use the several railroad
systems of Santa Clara, Matanzas, and Habana for transporting their
products.

The prices obtained from the sale of sugar in January, February,
March, April, and May, 1903, were 1.965, 1.824, 1.774, 1.651, and 1.667
cents per pound, or an average for the five months of 1.776 cents per
pound. These prices are in Spanish gold.

The principal crop of 1904, as for some years past, has been sugar,
of which the production has been 00,817 tons in excess of that of last
year. Prices obtained for sugar this j^ear exceeded those of last year,
and the value of the crop is eonsequenth^ considerabU^ more, and can
safely be stated as $50,000,000. The prices obtained during the first
six months of 1904 were as follows per 100 pounds: January, $1.77;
February, $1.77; March, $2.04; April, $2.18; May, $2.38; June, $2.43;
average for the six months, $2.09. Sugar sold as high as $3 per 100
pounds in August, 1904.
MolasseH. — The molasses produced in 1903 amounted to 40,000,000
gallons, of which 12,000,000 gallons of the first quality were exported
from this city (Habana) to Philadelphia, and 10,000,000 gallons of the
sei*ond quality to other ports in the United SUites and to Europe. The
remainder — 18,000,000 gallons- was consumed on the island. Molas-
ses of first quality sold at 8 cents, and second (juality at 3 cents. The
total value of the production was $1,800,(K)0.
The by-products of sugar cane — molasses and rum — constitute a
considerable source of income to the sugar producer. They are pro-
duced from the juice of the cane as it is extracted at certain stages of
the sugar-making process, and the molasses output in particular is of
material value to the sugar planter. The rum product is compara-
tively small and mainly destined for home consumption, but molasses
is exported to a considerable extent. Of the last crop of molasses
more than half was exported.

valued at $291,678, making a grand total of 47,189,146 gallons of
molasses, valued at $1,639,678.
Rum and agiuirdlente. — Spirits produced from sugar cane amounted
to 1,651,676 gallons, valued at $219,434. Most of the rum and aguar-
diente went to Uruguay (550,990 gallons), Canary Islands (478,698
gallons), and England (301,961 gallons); only 29,782 gallons went to
the United States.
Total mvgar product, — The total value of the sugar products of 1904,
therefore,was as follows: Raw sugar, $50,668,995; molasses, $1,639,678;
aguardiente, $219,434; total, $52,528,107, against $41,940,955 in 1903;
$30,863,524 in 1902, $32,258,580 in 1901, $17,603,839 in 1900, and
$19,206,815 in 1899. The Bureau of statistici^ gives the following
figures for year ending June 30, 1904, for value of exports to the
United States: Sugar, $56,547,377; molasses, $874,343, or over
$54,100,000 without rum.
Sugar plantations, — It is only a few 3'ears since the sugar industry
was separated from agriculture in most of the large plantations,
called ''centmles." Considerable increase in the sugar production
was the result, owing to the reasonable and methodic subdivision of
labor.
The industrial process for the manufacture of sugar was greatly
improved daring the years preceding the invasion of the western
Provinces by the forces of the revolution initiated in Februar\% 1895,
in the eastern region of the island. With few exceptions, the cen-
trales were furnished with furnaces for burning green bagasse as
fuel; machinery of great power, mills of large dimensions, regrinders,
defibrators, and defecators were established; improvements were
made for the purpose of maintaining the juice at a high temperature,
thus avoiding fermentation; vacuum pans for boiling, evaporating,
and concentrating the saccharine matter of the cane juice (called
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 81
triple-effect apparatus) were also established; and to separate the
molasBes from the sugar, centrifugal filters were introduced. At the
same time railways were constructed in the interior of mills and
factories, easily accessible laboratories were established to assure
the chemical proceedings in the process of sugar manufacturing, and
electric light used instead of kerosene, gasoline, etc.
Sugar-ccme colonies. — Owing to the lack of pecuniary means among
the owners of lands where these colonies were established, agricul-
tural development is rather unimportant, as the proprietors of the
centrales can not afford to advance money for the purpose of rebuild-
ing the wrecked houses, purchase of oxen and agricultural imple-
ments, as well as for plowing and planting anew the fields; and as
there are no agricultural banks in Cuba to furnish the necessary funds
for this purpose, the planting of new cane lands since the end of the
war has been limited.
TOBACCO.
Second only in importance to the sugar industry in Cuba is that of
tobacco (Nicotiana tahacum)^ in the cultivation of which upward of
80,000 people are employed.
The tobacco plant is indigenous, and was found in use by the natives
at the time of the discovery of the island.
It was imported into Spain sixty years later by Francisco Fernan-
dez, a physician who had been sent by King Philip II of Spain to
investigate the products of the new discovered lands.
It can be safely said that the first European who ever smoked
tobacco was an Englishman, Ralph Lane, the first governor of Vir-
ginia, who, on his return to England, brought pipes and tobacco,
which he made a present of to Sir Walter Raleigh, the famous cour-
tier of Queen Elizabeth. Sir Walter soon took a fancy at smoking,
and this was sufiicient to make the use of tobacco one of the favorite
occupations of the English court.
Perhaps the fact that contributed more strongly to popularize its
use was the opposition which it met with. The church condemned its
use, kings and emperors declared it unlawful, and in some nations,
especially in Russia, very severe punishment was administered to the
smokers.
King James I of England described its use as ^^a custom loathsome
to thereye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the
lungs, and the black, stinking fumes thereof nearest resemble the
horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.''
The Spanish historian, Oviedo, describes its use among the Santo
Domingo Indians, in the following words:
The Indians inhabiting this island have, among other evil customs, one which is
very pemidoiis, namely, that of smoking, called by them ** tobacco," for the pur-
poae of prododDg insensibility. This they effect by means of a certain herb which.
82 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
so far as I can learn, is of poisonous quality, though not poisonons in its appearance.
It is about 4 or 5 palms high; the leaves, which are lai^ge and broad, are soft and
downy, and in color it resembles the plant called bugloss by doctors and herbalists.
The manner in which they use it is as follows: The caziques and principal men
have small hollowed sticks, about a span long and as thick as the little finger; they are
forked in the manner here shown, Y, but both the forks and the stalk are of the same
pie<;e. The forked ends are inserted in the nostrils and the other end is applied to
the burning leaves of the herb, which are rolled up in the manner of pastils. They
then inhale the smoke until they fall down in a state of stupor, in which they remain
as if intoxicated for a considerable time. Such of the Indians as can not procure a
forked stick use a hollow reed or cane for the purpose of inhaling the smoke. Their
smoking instrument, whether it be forked or merely a hollow cane, is called
'' tobacco '' by the Indians, who do not give this name to the herb, nor the stupor
into which they fall, as some have erroneously supposed.
The remains of baked clay and other kinds of pipes found in the
Indian mounds of the North American continent indicate plainly that
smoking was generally prevalent among the Indians of the mainland
long before the discoveries of Columbus.
For many years the tobacco trade of Cuba was a Crown monopoly,
with the royal office and warehouse in Habana and branches in San-
tiago de Cuba, Trinidad, Bayamo, and Remedios, where the planters
could store their tobacco, receiving such prices as might be established
by the Crown for each crop. In later years the tobacco monopoly
was sold to private companies, and was again resumed by the Crown
in 1760. Finally, in 1817, by a royal decree of June 22, the trade and
cultivation of tobacco were declared free on payment of a tax by each
planter equivalent to one-twentieth of the production. Since that
date the taxes have varied according to circumstances, but gradually
decreased, so helping an industry that can be considered the chief
industry of Culm, for although it is true that the sugar industry has
so far proved a larger and most productive one, sugar of as good
quality as Cuba's is produced in many parts of the world, while the
Cuban tobacco has not and will never probably be equaled.
Reliable statistics of the annual production of tobacco in early times
are not at hand, nor is it possible to tell how much was shipped, except
through the custom house, owing to the large amount smuggled.
From such data as are available, it appears that from 1702 to 1817 the
total amount regularly exported was about 20,600,000 pounds; that
during the periods of Government monopoly the amount was less than
during the period of private monopoly, and that the amount exported
was largely increased after the trade monopoly was discontinued. It
is probable that the amount smuggled was equal to the amount
exported.
Coming down to a later period, it appears that the average produc-
tion in bales in 1894r-95 was in the neighborhood of 660,000 bales of
50 kilograms, or about 62,000,000 pounds of leaf, valued at $22,000,000.
Of this amount about 220,000 bales (nearly 40 per cent), valued at
BANDBOOE OF CUBA.
$10,000,000, were used in the manufacture of cigars and cigarettea,
and this ia about the proportion with normal crops. The remainder
(about 60 per cent) is mainly exported in the leaf.
Since 1895 the tobacco crops have been as follows:

Crtyp of 190i. — The tobacco crop of 1902 was only medium, being
77,836 bales Ie.ss than the crop of 1901. Thiw deficit may be divided
as follows: Vuelta-Abajo district, 12,i25 bales; Partidos district, 5,354

The statistics of the 1902. tobacco crop t^how the following figures:
Viielta-Abajo, 172,870 bales; Semi-Vuelta, 18,042 bales; Partidos,
54,486 bales, and Remedios, 111,796 bales.

The deficit in the 1902 crop compared with that of 1901 was not
only due to the shortafre in tbe crop from the fields, but also to a
decrease in the acret^ under cultivation. This latter cause especially
obtained in the Remedios section, in which a large stock of tobacco
had to be token over from 1901 to 1902, as consumptioii in tbe United
States had fallen off considenbly.

Owing to want of rain, the 1902 crop did not cure as satisfactorily
as desired and remained in a raw condition. About 60 per cent of the
crop was sent to the United States. The balance was divided among

The total amount of 1902 tobacco exported was 243,968 bales, valued
at $6,700.
The tobacco crop in the year 1903-4 was good in both quality
and quantity, and may be safely valued at over $30,000,000. The
exports during f903 were valued at $26,046,431, against $26,400,000 in
the previous year. The exports of leaf tobacco in 1904 exceeded those
of the previous year by $600,000. The total exports of leaf tobacco
amounted to 40,977,946 pounds, valued at $13,245,187, 24,128,430
pounds of which, valued at $9,931,802, went to the United States, and
10,306,674 pounds, valued at $1,921,079, to Germany, the next largest
purchaser.
Tobacco stems, which are used in the manufacture of snuff, etc.,
were exported to the amount of 698,178 pounds, valued at $9,959,
principally to the United States, Argentina, and Germany.
Tobacco seed to the value of $3,112 was exported to the United
States.
Farmers raising tobacco in the Province of Pinar del Rio use the
Western Railway and some northern seaports for exporting their leaves.
PRmCIPAL PLANTS CULTIVATED.
A perusal of these notes will show that the soil of Cuba contains all
the elements necessary for vegetable life and that its climate (tropical-
temperate) contributes to cover the island with a rich and luxuriant
vegetation formed by growths of all kinds which it is not possible to
study separately, not only for the reason that many of the plants grow
wild and have never been cultivated, but because in general there is
very little known of their habits.
Considerable data has been obtained since the establishment of the
Republic, and the department of agriculture is at present making every
effort to gather and organize agricultural information of all kinds,
considering this the only means of arriving at a proper knowledge of
methods at present employed for cultivation in the island. As these
become known and agricultural experiment stations are established to
investigate the progressive and rational changes that can be made in
the system of agriculture practiced, condensing and publishing the
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 85
facte in book form (a species of agricultural catechism) with appropri-
ate illustrations and views, planters may obtain objectively and apply
with profit rational systems for the cultivation of plants and thus
obtain at a minimum cost the maximum results from a given portion
of land. With the impossibility of treating this matter as extensively
in these notes as its vital importance would require, for a country
agricultural par excellence, making a study of the rich flora of Cuba,
it will be necessary to confine ourselves to a description of the princi-
pal plants which have been the subject of more or less perfect
cultivation.
SUGAR CANE.
This grass-like saccharine plant occupies the first place among those
cultivated in Cuba in proportion to the extent of territory, forming,
as it does, the basis for the sugar production, the principal source of
wealth of the island.
Cane is cultivated all over the island with more or less success. In
certain sections, where it seems to find itself perfectly at home with-
out agricultural improvement of any kind, its growth is almost wild,
and during the late war the plant showed great powers of resistance
to the havoc caused in fields that were set on fire more than once.
The plant thrives until the land is totally impoverished, tired, as the
natives call it, for want of renewal by fertilization, and, robbed of its
productiveness by successive crops, the cane ceases to grow in proper
conditions.
The varieties known as ''Otahiti white cane "and ''crystalline cane"
are those most extensively produced in Cuba, no doubt because they
are the most adaptable to the natural conditions of its climate and soil.
The cost of cultivating a caballeria of seed cane, from the time that
the soil is first broken until the cutting of the plant varies considerably
according to the quality of land, the price of labor, the system of
cultivation, the capital invested, the class of seed used, etc., but it can
be asserted that it fluctuates between $1,000 and $1,400, or an average
of $1,200.
The cultivation of the ratoons — that is, of the cane field after one or
more successive cuttings — consists in the labor of weeding and cutting
the grass, and can be figured at $342 per caballeria.
The cost of cutting and stripping off leaves can be calculated at
$400, loading at $200, and hauling at $194.
In round numbers the cost of preparation, cultivation, cutting,
hauling, etc., runs between $1,1K)0 and $2,000 per caballeria; the
above figures can be reduced to $1,700, and even to $1,500.
It can be asserted that if the proper lands are selected — such as
sandy and clayey soil of suitable depth, not very compact, rich in
organic matter — ^five and six cuttings can be obtained, yielding an
86 HANDBOOK OF OUBA.
average of 80,000 arrobas (about 25 pounds to each arroba) per cabal-
leria, and in conditions very much less favorable the average yield is
50,000 arrobas.
Taking as a basis that the total cost of cultivation reaches in five
years $2,568, that of cutting and stripping, loading and hauling $3,970,
we reach a total cost, from the setting out of the cane until the end of
the fifth crop, for the 250,000 arrobas obtained, supposing the mini-
mum yield to be 50,000 arrobas per caballeria, of $6,538, or, say, $2.60
per hundred arrobas, delivered at the sugar mill.
TOBAOOO.
This solanaceous plant whose rich leaf as produced on Cuban soil is
reputed the best in the world, occupies the second place among the
Cuban plants, for, although it is not cultivated as extensively as cane,
it serves as a basis for two important industries, one of which is
agriculture, which pi*epares and packs the weed for export, and the
other manufacture, which represents a considerable value, as it manu-
factures the millions of cigars and cigarettes consumed in the country
or exported, giving employment to skilled workmen and contributing
to the welfare of the laboring classes of the cities.
Tobacco requires for its cultivation a loose, rich, sandy soil, the best
for the purpose being found in some localities in the Province of Pinar
del Rio, especially in the southern portions, which lands produce the
fine tobacco that brings the high prices paid by expert smokers, par-
ticularly in England and the United States.
The plant is also produced in the central and eastern portions and
even in the western portions of the island of quite good quality, espe-
cially on the northern watershed of the Siguanea River, Province of
Santa Clara, on lands east of the Arimao River in the famous Mani-
caragua vegas and others.
Notwithstanding its well-earned fame, the Cuban product can not
reach the development it should, inasmuch as all countries consider
tobacco an assessable article and endeavor, besides, to protect their
home product by burdening the imported article with high import
duties, which in some cases become almost prohibitory. One of the
nations in which the conditions are most favorable for the consump-
tion of Cuban tobacco without injury to its own products is the United
States, and it is certain that this result will be reached when the effects
of the recent reciprocity treaty between the latter nation and Cuba
become thoroughly known and the advantages are fully appreciated
by both sides; then the increase will necessarilj'^ follow, and at the same
time the cultivation of the plant under cover will continue to develop
until a wrapper is produced capable of substituting the Sumatra, which
to-day is preferred by numerous consumers among the many addicted
to the weed in the United States. A good deal of interest was mani-
fested in the experiments toward the culture of der cheese
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 87
cloth as a protection to the plants from the sun and from injury by
insects. The duty on cheese cloth, ranging from 15 to 50 cents per
kilogram (2.2046 pounds), was repealed July 30, 1902, in order to
encourage this new industry. It is believed that Cuba may rival
Sumatra in the production of lino wrappers, for which there is a large
demand in the United States.
The cost of preparing the soil, its fertilization, value of the seed-
lings, planting, and distribution of fertilizers, care of the plant, rent
and general expenses; in a word, the cost of one caballeria from the
time it is plowed up until the tobacco crop is gathered, varies con-
siderably, due to the same causes that have already been mentioned
in connection with the planting of cane; but taking as a standard the
Province of Pinar del Rio it can be stated that the cost will reach
about $7,940. The yield of a caballeria, consisting on an avei'age of
211 tercios (bales) at $50 per tercio, 54 arrobas of seed at $4, and 12
cartloads of stems at $1, would therefore be about $10,778, leaving a
balance as profit of $2,838.
Before closing these remarks relative to the planting of tobacco, it
is advisable to say a few words in regard to the adoption by many
tobacco planters of the system of cultivating the leaf under cover or
with mosquito nets, as the natives call it, and which consists in placing
over the plants a covering of cheese cloth, 2 or 2i meters over the
same in the form of an awning. This serves to temper the intensity
of the sun's raj's, moderate the force of the wind and its action on the
leaves, keep the earth moist and, above all, to avoid the insects, inas-
much as the latter being unable to penetrate into the territor}'^ under
cultivation are unable to deposit their larvee on the leaves.
The results obtained up to 1904 with this system of cultivation
have been satisfactory, as, according to data furnished to the depart-
ment of agriculture by the Junta Provincial (provincial board) of Pinar
del Rio, 212 hectares in which 6,776,000 seedlings were planted gave
trees, according as they were budded or not, varying in height from
1.78 meter to 2. 10 meters, with 14 to 18 leaves each plant, with a jneld
of 14 per cent for trees weighing 40 pounds and 60 per cent of first-
class leaf for wrappers. The average total cost per hectare in the
Province was $736.44.
On the other hand, two well-known and experienced planters of
Pinar del Rio state that tobacco grown under cover will yield to the
caballeria 330 bales instead of 150 grown by the ordinary method,
producing leaves from 28 to 32 inches long by 14 to 16 inches wide in
the proportion of 7 per cent.
The total number of plants laid out for the crop of 1902-3 in all the
island was about 1,260,628,800, which yielded approximately, 399,020
bales, weighing 563,653 quintals (1 quintal equivalent to 46 kilograms),
at an average price of $21.75 a bale and $15.70 per quintal.
88 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
C50RN.
Among the grasses belonging to the cereal class, com easily occu-
pies the first place, owing to its importance as an article of food, the
alimentary properties of which seem to be greater in Cuba, the native
variety showing a greater quantity of gluten, albumina, oily matter,
and phosphates.
Corn is grown to a greater or less extent all over the Republic, but
as a rule it is not the subject of exclusive cultivation, but is planted
in connection with other products, such as cane, coffee, and vegetables.
In order to obtain the most abundant yields, the best soil is that pos-
sessing a porous subsoil over which is a stratum in which silica pre-
dominates over albumina and lime.
The variety cultivated in Cuba belongs to the group of the yellow
corn and generally two crops are harvested, one known as the wet
crop, belonging to the summer season, which is gathered between
August and September or November, and the other called the cold
crop, belonging to the winter season, planted between September and
November, to take advantage of the first northers, and according to
the appearance of the north winds the crop is called early or late.
The superiority and natural advantages of the soil of Cuba for the
gi'owth of corn has been proven on two occasions: The extraordinary
crops which almost spontaneously sprang up during the blockade
resulting from the Spanish-American war, and the results obtained by
planters in 1880, stimulated by the bounty offered by the Circulo de
Hacendados (planter's association) for the greatest crop that could be
produced on one-eighth of a caballeria, and which demonstrated that,
without appl3nng strictly the intensive system, with a little care, from
604 to 614 fanegas can be obtained — that is, 408 to 414 bushels per
caballeria.
It is difficult to obtain definite information as to the cost and yield of
corn, for the reason that these crops are generally planted in connec-
tion with others on small portions of land near the large cities; but,
taking as a basis the data furnished b}^ various growers of experience,
we can state that preparation, plowing, sowing, cultivation, and pick-
ing reaches about $950 per caballeria, provided labor costs under $1
and mechanical cultivation is employed.
During the fiscal year 1902-3, 50',593,091 pounds of corn were
imported into Cuba. Of this amount more than 99 per cent came from
the United States, with a total value of $628,010.
The price of a fanega of corn fluctuates between $4.30 and $2.75,
according to the Province and the season of the year.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 89
RICE.
Rice is a cereal that is never absent from the table of the Cuban
workman. It therefore can be considered as one of the staple articles
of the food he consumes. In spite of this fact all of the rice consumed
in Cuba comes from foreign countries. Still the rice industry grows in
Cuba, where extensive fields can be planted without the drawbacks
which the cultivation of this plant carries with it, to which the swampy
lands, subject to paludic fevers and otherwise unhealthful, are devoted,
for the reason that in Cuba there exists a variety, '^arroz secano" or
dry rice, which grows on soil not subject to inundation.
The cultivation of rice at present is limited to the variety known as
**arroz de la tierra" (dry earth rice), very much liked by the natives
in spite of the fact that it does not present a good white color, due to
the fact, no doubt, that in the operation of hulling the shell can not
be entirely separated from the grain, not even where the most mod-
em and perfected machinery is used.
This plant, badly cultivated in Cuba as it is at present, yields more
than 2,000 arrobas to the caballeria, a yield that can be increased to as
much as 3,000 and 4,000 arrobas. The average price of an arroba of
rice fluctuates, according to the Province, between ^.80 and $1.34.
THE SWEET POTATO.
This rich tuber is a powerful helper in the food consumption of
the working classes in the fields, and serves also as food for breeding
cattle and swine raised in stables and pens.
The cost of preparing the ground, planting, weeding, and gathering
is $905 per caballeria.
The crop is harvested by picking the most developed tubers, and
leaving the mother plant all others until they attain their full growth,
'when they too are picked. The largest specimens are taken to
market, while the smaller, known vulgarly as the ''rabuja," are fed
to the animals.
One caballeria planted during the so-called winter season, especially
during January and February, yields about 25,000 arrobas, or some
50 tons of tubers, and should the cultivation thereof be attended with
intelligence the yield will be doubled. That planted in August pro-
duces from 18,000 to 20,000 arrobas.
The price of an arroba of sweet potatoes fluctuates between $0.18
and $0.26.
THE POTATO.
There are in the Republic fertile lands easily subjected to irrigation,
as, for instance, the valley of G nines, some 12 leagues (3 miles to a
toagae) from the city of Uabana; they can be devoted with profit tA
90 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
growing this root for the purpose of supplying the American markets
during the winter season.
The principal varieties cultivated are the white and roie colored
potato.
The total expenses, from breaking the ground to harvesting, reach
$1,200 per caballeria of land, including the cost of 260 barrels of seed
potatoes; and it is calculated that this proportion of land will produce
13,000 arrobas, which can be increased by intelligent methods of cul-
tivation to 17,000 arrobas.
The average price of an arroba of potatoes varies, in different por-
tions of the island, from $0.80 to $1.25, according to the season of the
year.
• YIJCA.
There are in Cuba two kinds of yuca, the sweet or edible variety
(Jatropha Tnanihot) and the sour or poisonous {Jatropha toxica)^ but
rich in f ecula.
Both varieties are produced on substantial and moderately damp
soil, the first being used as a diet for man and beast, and the second in
the manufacture of starch, of which it contains about 20 per cent.
The planting is done by laying pieces of the stalk, 7 to 8 inches
long, in furrows during the months of March, April, and May, to
obtain what is known as the spring crop; or in September, October,
and November for the cold season crop.
The average cost of production may be calculated at $1,000 per
caballeria, bearing in mind that the picking and gathering should be
done with great care, for, in the event of a sprout breaking near the
vital knot the root will cease growing, will hardens and finally become
a total loss.
A caballeria of land produces 5,000 arrobas of the sour yuca, from
which 1,000 arrobas of starch can be obtained. The water residue
of the manufacture of starch from the sour yuca is poisonous, for it
contains cyanhydric acid — in small quantities it is true, but in a greatly
diffused state. When this root is subjected to a boiling process at a
temperature of 100^, it loses its toxic properties but retains a disagree-
able taste which makes it unfit for food.
The price of sweet yuca — that is, the edible yuca — varies from $0.25
to $0.32, and the sour yuca from $0.34 to $1.20 per arroba.
The ground fiber, after extracting starch, is called '"cativia," and
made into flat round cakes, 1 foot in diameter, called ''casabe," which
is eaten with sauce or jerked beef.
NAME (yams).
This tuber, which is very large, and, as a rule, is sold at a high
price AS compared with the sweet potato (its price varies between
HANDBOOK OF OUBA. 91
$0.50 and ^.80 per arroba, according to the quality), is cultivated on
a small scale on the outskirts of large cities, the best quality or white
name being quite scarce.
The comparatively large size of this tuber requires a deep, loose
soil, well broken up, and the planting should be made in deep furrows.
The cost thereof, including harvesting, can be calculated at from $1,100
to $1,200 a caballeria.
One caballeria of land can produce 5,000 arrobas of yams only once
a year.
MALANGAS.
Of this tuber two classes are generally consumed, the white and the
yellow, the last named being preferred, although both, especially the
first, are cultivated on a small scale only. The cultivation of this root
is being considerably increased, as it is quite popular, due to its agree-
able taste, similar to that of the white iiame.
It can be calculated that a caballeria will produce 4,000 to 5,000
arrobas of white malanga, the price fluctuating between $0.28 and
$0.39 per arroba.
BANANA.
The plantain (vegetable) constitutes one of the principal articles of
food of all classes of society in Cuba, rarely being absent from the
table, especially at the midday meal, due no doubt to its recognized
alimentary properties, which, according to the deceased Cuban chem-
ist, Doctor Barnet, contains 11.20 per cent of fecula and 22.40 percent
of pectic matter.
The banana (fruit) is also consumed in large quantities. There are
a number of varieties, the best known being the "Manzano" and
"Johnson" banana, the latter being cultivated on a large scale in the
eastern portions of the island and exported mainly through the ports
of Baracoa and Bancs. The exportation of this fruit during the fiscal
year 1904 to the United States was $1,938,080.
For planting purposes the offshoots that grow around the stump or
protuberances coming out of the principal root are used; in the first
ease, the tree bears fruit within nine or ten months, and in the second
within twelve or sixteen. One caballeria will hold 7,500 trees; there-
fore each tree occupies n space of 15 square feet.
The cost of felling and clearing one caballeria of land, cutting and
hauling to nearest loading port, is $1,928.75. If planted on land
alreadv cleared the cost is reduced $300. The vield is about 7,500
bunches, of which 75 i>er cent have nine '^manos" (hands) and are
worth 40 centft per bunch; 40 per cent are provided with 7 or 8 manos
worth 25 cents a bunch, and 13 per cent have 6 manos and are worth
12 cents per bunch. The total yield of a caballeria is $2,270.
The ripe f i*uit pressed and dried in the sun, or in a special oven,
forms what is called "dried banana*' (a presetvek).
92 HANDBOOK OP CUBA.
There is also extracted from the banana in the proportion of about
10 per cent a flour known as ''bananina,'' which differs frotn the wheat
flour only in that it contains less nitrogenized matter.
The average price of the plantain banana and of the fruit banana,
for home consumption, is from 20 cents to 47 cents per bunch, and
from 15 cents to 25 cents a bunch, according to the locality.
PINEAPPLE.
This plant, producing the finest of Cuban fruit because of its aro-
matic and refreshing juice, is extremely rustic in its habits and has
great powers of resistance against the rigorous droughts as well as
through the excessive rains, provided the land is weeded and freed of
objectionable grasses.
There are two varieties of this plant in Cuba, the "pinadelatierra"
(indigenous pine) and the '^pina blanca de la Habana" (Habana white
pine) ananasa sativa. The latter is the sweetest and largest in size,
but does not keep well, for which reason it is not adapted for export.
The pifia morada de Cuba (purple Cuban or large-headed pineapple)
ananasa Cubensis, smaller and more scaly is less juicy and sweet, but
has better resisting qualities and is the species cultivated for export,
principally to the United States, the latter country consuming each
year an increasingly large amount. In the last fiscal year, 1003-4,
21,325,773 kilograms of pineapples were exported, worth $617,607,
to the United States.
Planting can be done by means of the new radicules (a part in the
embryo of the plant which belongs to the roots), called in Cuba
"criollos," which bear fruit in one year, or by those that surround
the fruit known as "hijos de corona" (offspring of the crown), which,
while they require eighteen months before becoming productive, are
preferable under certain conditions, because they are more abundant,
easily gathered, and therefore cheaper.
In planting the sprouts shooting from the stems under the crown of
the fruit are also used in those pineapple fields wherein the vegetation
as exhuberant and which are more easily developed, according to
expert growers. In one caballeria of land, providing for the proper
space, and for the gathering of same, 18,000 dozen plants can be raised.
It is estimated that the planting and cultivation of one caballeria of
land with pineapples costs between $3,000 and $3,500 during the liist
eighteen months, which is the period wherein the plant bears fruit;
and as a pineapple field kept in good order yields about five crops, and
the cost of production after the first crop is reduced to $500, we can
calculate that the total cost per caballeria during the five years will
be $4,000.
Therefore each crop yielding 18,000 dozen pineapples - that is to say,
as many pineapples as there are seedlings planted — in a period of five
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 98
years a pineapple field would yield about 90,000 dozen, but it must be
borne in mind that the fruit diminishes in size until, during the last
year, it is so small that it can be used only in the manufacture of
sweets and preserves. The best pines are those harvested during the
two first years and the fruit of ordinary quality is that gathered dur-
ing the remaining three.
The first shipments are made during the month of March. The
fruit is most abundant during the month of June, harvesting continu-
ing through July, but in addition to this small quantities of the pine
known as "pina aventurera (adventurous pine) are exported during
the entire year.
The white pineapple for home consumption brings an average price
of 40 cents to $1.17 per dozen, according to the Province and season of
the year. The pineapple raised for export brought at one time during
the first period of its cultivation $1 per dozen, but as the supply
increased the value decreased, until it fell to 25 cents per dozen, but
even at this extremely low figure, and granting that it can be obtained
only for the fruit produced during the first three years, with the
54,000 dozens harvested, all the expenses can be covered and there
will be a balance left of $9,800 in addition to the net amount of the
last two crops.
ORANGE.
Although the orange is cultivated in its perfect state in Cuba and
with little care the tree produces abundant and delicious fruit, before
the establishment of the Republic there existed in the island very few
groves, but there is already noticeable a great increase in the cultiva-
*tion of this plant, which will no doubt come to occupy the place that
properly belongs to it among the plants of Cuba.
The orange not being a very exacting plant in regard to soil, will
grow even in rocky territory of inferior quality, provided it is fertil-
ized and copiously watered in the summer. The orange can be culti-
vated in Cuba on almost any class of laud; the best results, however,
are obtained from a loose, substantial damp soil, with a deep layer of
vegetable matter.
The total cost of preparing and planting 1 caballeria varies from
$2,000 to $2,500; cultivation, manure, transportation, irrigation, etc.,
$1,200. The young plants are worth 25 cents each.
An orange grove of 1 caballeria of land yields in a fair year about
1,400,000 to 1,800,000 oranges (1,600,(X)0 average), and the fruit is
sold at $5 per 1,000 for export and 65 cents to $1 per 100 for home
consumption.
To secure rapid and easy communication over highways or railways
with the port of Habana, the lands most prized in the Province of
Ebbana for orange groves are those situated in the districts of Guira
de Melena, Alquizar, Aguacate, Bainoa, and others. In the surround-
94 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
ings of Nuevitas (Camaguey Province) there are also lands suitable for
the cultivation of oranges, the price of which varies according to topo-
graphical position and quality of same, from $500 to $2,000 per
caballeria.
COTTON.
This plant has been cultivated in Cuba from the early part of last
century to the extent that in the year 1842, 1,082,361 arrobas were
exported. Its cultivation afterwards diminished to again acquire a
new lease of life during the war of secession in the United States, as a
result of the high prices obtained for the fiber; however, the year
following the conclusion of the war prices fell to such an extent as to
no longer^compensate the native planters, and to this was added the
difficulty of picking and cleaning which, with the machines then in
use, could not be done except with great loss in the process.
After peace was established on the island planters have again been
stimulated in the cultivation of this rich fiber, especially in the Prov-
ince of Camaguey, where it appears that satisfactory results have been
obtained from the trials that have been made. Experiments of this
nature have been made by the Cuba company, this railroad having
established small plantations along its route, and the American colo-
nies of ''La Gloria" and "Columbia" have planted 1,000 acres of land
in cotton after obtaining good results from small plantations.
Nearly all the lands of Cuba are adapted to growing cotton, but the
best results are obtained from fertile lands containing about 30 per
cent of sand, the same proportion of " mantillo" (rich black soil), and
10 per cent of lime, and these conditions are improved if situated near
the sea, the saline element in the atmosphere favoring the growth of
this plant.
Planting can be done at any time of the year, provided there is the
necessary amount of moisture in the soil for the germination of the
seed, but it is advisable to select the time so that the loaves of the
plant will be sufficiently developed and hardened during the laying
season of insects (generally in June), as the latter can devour only the
young and tender leaves. Care should also be taken that the opening
of the boll does not coincide with the rains, as an excessive amount of
humidity spoils the fiber.
According to information furnished by experienced planters, a
cotton plant properly attended will yield on an average 500 bolls
annually, each containing 70 grams of cleaned cotton; some of them
calculate a yield of 30,000 pounds to the caballeria.
It may be interesting to add that experiments with this fiber have
been made recently at the agricultural experiment school in the city
of Habana by Mr. Jose Cadenas, the professor in charge.
The varieties experimented with were Sea Island, Select Upland, Mit
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 95
Afifi, Abisis of Egypt, Georgia, and what is known as the " arboreo,"
a plant indigenous to the country.
After the seedlings were sown they were transplanted and placed 1
vara (34 inches) apart in furrows also about 1 vara apart. Success
was obtained with all the plants of the last three varieties with a loss
of 30 per cent, 38 per cent, and nearly 8 per cent, respectively, of the
iSrst three.
In the month of May when the plants began to bloom they were
attacked by the cutworm {Allecea argiUaeea).
Picking was done in the months of May, June, and July, with the
result that the most productive was the Sea Island, followed by the
Eg3^ptian variety, Upland, and finally the native species, the latter
plant continuing its growth as a shrub. The Upland gave the best
results as to length, whiteness, and strength of fiber, followed closely
by the Sea Island.
RAMIE.
This plant has become perfectly acclimatized in Cuba, the stalk at
times attaining a height of throe meters, containing from thirty to
forty shoots, without the fiber losing any of its distinctive properties
owing to this fact. The plant can be pruned two or three times a
year provided two years are allowed to elapse before it is worked.
It is calculated that the total cost of preparing the land, seeding,
sowing, and cultivation does not exceed $1,200 per caballeria the first
year, $300 the second and following years until the fifth, which is the
life of the plant.
A caballeria of land yields in each cutting 375,000 kilograms, which
is reduced to 37,500 (10 per cent) after drying; 18,750 (5 per cent) after
cleaning, as, for instance, China grass, and yields ultimately- 11,250
kilograms (3 per cent) of pure and silky fiber. The value of this fiber
varies, but can be quoted at $120 per metric ton.
HENEQUEN.
Two species of henequen are known in Cuba, Agave americana and
Agave cubensU^ these plants yielding a hard, tough filament applied
mainly to the manufacture of rope and cordage; l>oth grow spontane-
ously and in the most barren lands, unfit for any other kind of culti-
vation, alwa^'s provided the mineral composition of the soil abounds
in lime and sand.
The cost of cultivation, including the price of the young plants, can
be calculated at about $836 per caballeria and the cost of cutting, pre-
paring, and packing, $2,248, or a total of $3,084.
Information obtained on a large plantation of 25 caballerias, shows
that each caballeria will hold 50,000 plants. These after three years,
the time when they attain their most perfect development, yield on an
96 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
average three leaves monthly, and as it is calculated that each leaf con-
tains one and a half ounces of fiber; 1,000,000 leaves gathered from a
cabal leria during one year, will yield 420 bales of '4 quintals (400
pounds) each.
In the surroundings of the plantation above referred to, and where
the leaves are gathered, cleaned, and the bales prepared, there are
many smaller plantations where the leaves are sold on the plant at
the rate of 50 cents silver (about 28 cents. United States currency)
per thousand, the purchaser paying for cutting, gathering, and cart-
age; the leaves, collected in bunches of ten each, are paid for at the
rate of 91 currency per thousand.
The life of a plant is calculated at 15 years, but as each plant dis-
appears it leaves an offshoot or young plant which at the end of three
years will again commence to give the same yield for another fifteen.
LENGUA DE VAGA.
This exotic plant, known also by the name of ^^piel de maja^' (snake
skin) or '^pasa de negro" (negro hair), has prospered greatly in Cuba,
not only on account of the facility with which it is reproduced through
its seeds and offshoots, leaves, and even pieces of these, but because
of its rusticity and the ease with which it is propagated, growing
almost spontaneously wherever it finds shade and a certain amount of
moisture in the soil.
The land most appropriate for this plant should have a substantial,
somewhat dry soil, containing a certain proportion of lime and sand,
and it thrives to greater advantage where the subsoil is clayey and
does not retain all of the moisture.
The fiber of this plant, which is pearl white, handsome, strong, and
does not rot under water, is used with good results in the manufacture
of the finer cordage and of white dry-goods fabrics.
The cost of preparing the soil, planting, care, gathering and extract-
ing the raw material, is almost the same as that of henequen, and can
be calculated at about 75 per cent of the gross output during the first
3'ear and about 55 per cent during the following years.
A caballeria of land, not taking into account the ground space
required for paths, will hold 332 beds, 84 meters long by 3 wide. In
each bed 1,176 seedlings can be planted, and therefore the caballeria
will hold 413,952 plants. The roots of these produce new sprouts
which, finding a loose soil, multiply to such an extent that at the end
of two years the field is entirely choked up.
With careful cultivation on land that can be moderately shaded and
a certain amount of water given the plant, the latter will grow as high
as two a half meters, with 50 offshoots of about a meter, the leaves
from which weigh 34 pounds; and as the fiber extracted by hand rep-
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 97
resents 4 per cent, the total production will be at least 560 quintals or
25,760 kilograms.
From data obtained in regard to prices offered for this fiber, it is
found that, provided the same is delivered in large quantities, England
has offered 8 cents per pound for first-class and 3 cents per pound for
the refuse fiber or culls.
COFFEE.
The cultivation of the species of coffee known as Mirto or Arabian
{Coffea arabica L.) developed to such an extent from the year 1720,
when it was introduced into Cuba, that in 1846 there were 2,328 coffee
plantations on the island, yielding more than 2,000,000 arrobas of the
grain, but from 1850, in which year the price fell considerably, due to
the competition offered by South America and the East Indies, the plan-
tations decreased in number until in 1894 there were only 191, still
further reduced at present to the small number found in the uplands
of the oriental Provinces of the island. Competition, however, was
not the only cause of the decadence of the cultivation of coffee, for it
was also due to the irrational systems of cultivation and pruning
adopted, to such an extent that coffee culture ceased to be profitable
and to the additional circumstance that great success was obtained in
the cultivation of cane and high prices paid for sugar, the latter occu-
pying finally most of the territory former!}^ devoted to coffee.
The aromatic and tonic beverage made from the coffee bean is con-
sumed in large quantities in Cuba, especially by the rural population
and working classes. The demand could be in a great measure supplied
if the system of cultivating one plant only was abandoned, and coffee
planted in small quantities by farmers, if only in sufScient amounts
to satisfy the needs of the family.
Coffee can be raised on nearl}- all the lands of the Republic where a
fresh and damp soil is found, as the young plants suffer greatl}' from
droughts, and it is therefore necessary to cultivate them under shade.
To this effect bananas, oranges, and other trees are planted in the same
field.
Assuming that a plantation has to be established on land covered
with timber,, the cost of clearing, leaving on the same the trees neces-
sary for shade, digging, the price of the young plants and patrons
during the first year, is $925.25, adding thereto the expenses of the
second and third year, $216.25 and $200 respectively^, the total cost per
caballeria will be $1,341.50, or about $44 per acre.
The plant begins to yield between the third and fifth year, reaching
the highest state of development during its seventh year, and con^nues
vigorous for 35 years, which is calculated to be the life of a plant. It
18 asserted, however, in some localities that the plant reaches 80 years.

Picking the berry begins generally in the month of October, and it
is calculated that each tree will yield approximately from one-half to
2 kilograms.
After the crop is picked, the berry is subjected to what is called a
dry or wet process; the first consists of drying the berry and after-
wards hulling it by machinery; in the second, as the berry is gathered,
it is placed in machines to be cleaned, then dried and prepared, and
after being classified is stored or sold.
The following table shows the extent of the coffee exports of Cuba
during the most remunerative period of that industry:

The rehabilitation of the Cuban coffee industry would appear cer-
tain, and already it may be said to have begun.
In the Province of Oriente a. move in the way of reconstruction of
farms of this kind has begun, and it is hoped that this industry will
soon be of great benefit to the island and a sufficiently large crop for
home consumption be gathered.
The total number of coffee plantations that yielded crops in 1901-2
in the Provinces of Pinar del Rio, Santa Clara, Camaguey, and
Oriente was 1,091, containing 1,273,493 trees. The yield of these was
37,054 quintals (about 3 pounds per tree), or 158 quintals, approxi-
mately, per caballeria. The average price per quintal was $11.35.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 99
C0C50A.
The cultivation of this plant, reduced at present to the Province
of Oriente, is one of the most remunerative; as the tree which pro-
duces cocoa attains great development, and yields fruit of excellent
quality in fertile lands with a deep stratum that are fresh without
being damp, characteristics possessed in a high degree by the virgin
lands of Cuba.
Planting can be done directly by seeds or by young plants from a
seed plat or nursery. The first system is the safest for the reason
that where the second is employed, the young plants being very deli-
cate, in the operation of transplanting a considerable number is lost,
even though every precaution is taken, but the former presents the
difficulty of giving to the tender young plants the care they require.
Planting should be done with seeds from perfectly developed and
recently gathered pods, inasmuch as after a certain time they lose
their germinating properties. The seed beans should be planted three
or four meters apart with the thickest part downward resting on the
ground, and well covered with earth, in order that an excesvsive amount
of sunlight may not injure the embryo plant.
As cocoa requires shade during the early stages of its development,
or, in other words, until the tree is covered with leaves, it is generally
planted together with bananas, or advantage taken of the natural shade
furnished by the forest trees in plantations where only the necessary
clearings for planting have been made. It is better still, however, to
plant the Inicare erythrina uinhrosa^ which is a tree that grows rapidly
and does not impoverish the soil.
Planting is done from September to November, but the fruit of the
latter month is preferred where it is not possible to irrigate the land,
as the October rains of the eastern portions of the island where cocoa
is principally grown might injure the plant, especially if the soil is
clayey.
Care of the plant is reduced to weeding, ridding the tree of dried
branches and premature flowers, replacing defective plants, harrowing
the ground, if necessary, all of which can be easily done by one man
for every thousand plants.
Cocoa trees begin to yield, generall}', between the fourth and fifth
year, and continue for from thirty to fifty; the finest harvests, however,
are those gathered in the spring or autumn.
The approximate cost of cultivating a caballeria of land, including
felling the trees, planting the cocoa and necessary shade tree«, is esti-
mated to be about $1,856.
The fruit is considered ripe when the pod becomes a dark yellow
in color. Gathering must be done with care, the fruit heaped in
piles to encourage fermentation, the latter lasting four or five days.
100 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Should this not take place about that time, however, it is advisable to
facilitate fermentation by means of additional moisture.
The fermentation having once taken place, it becomes necessary to
thoroughly separate the beans by a drying process or by washing them
in tanks and drying by a rapid process, so that the fruit will undergo
no change.
E^h tree yields from one-half to li kilograms of pods.
The quintal (100 pounds) of cocoa brings a price of $9, approxi-
mately.
During the last fiscal year, 1903-4, Cuba exported to the United
States 17,888 sacks, or 3,367,647 pounds, valued at $346,924; the total
exports was 6,119,617 pounds, valued at $666,640.
CAOUTCHOUC, OR INDIA RUBBER.
The rubber tree is found in many portions of the island, where it
was introduced in 1828. The plant was acclimatized by Dr. Ramon
de la Sagra, in the botanical gardens then belonging to the University
of Habana on ground to-day occupied by the station of the Villanueva
Railroad. Seedlings from said garden were distributed by Doctor
Sagra to the coffee growers of that time, on whose lands trees exist
to-day, over 70 years old, with trunks measuring from 18 to 26 inches.
There is also found in the country the species of rubber tree mani-
coba (Mcmihot glaaiovil)^ of which a great number of seeds were
planted during the year 1900, but many of them failed to grow, due
either to the poor quality and age of the seed or to the lack of proper
care given the plants in the nurseries.
A caballeria of land will hold 3,667 rubber trees of the first species
mentioned, which, set out in beds six meters square; on land that has
been cleared and prepared, five men digging, measuring, and trans-
planting can plant in twelve days at a cost of $48. The total cost of
felling, planting, value of young plants, and cultivation during six
years, until the plant begins to bear fruit, can be estimated at $900.
The yield of 200 trees can be gathered by six workmen in twenty-
four days, four to cut the bark and collect the milk, and two to carry
this product to the place where the purifying and thickening process
takes place.
The twenty-four days mentioned are divided during the first four
months of the year at the rate of six days to each month, the period of
greatest production, according to experienced planters, taking place
at the time of the full moon.
It can be asserted that each tree after attaining the age of 6 or 7
years yields from 2 to 3 pounds of rubber a year.
Rubber not purified brings from $0.60 to $0.60 a pound and the pure
article from $0.90 to $1.16 according to the quality and purity.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 101
While the plant is growing and developing, bananas may be culti-
vated with it, the proceeds from the sale of which will cover the greater
part of the expensed.
00CX)ANUT.
This tree and the royal palm are extremely useful to the natives of
Cuba, as from the trunk he takes the boards to build his hut and the
leaves he uses to thatch his roof. The fruit of the cocoanut ti*ee
before ripening entirely contains a liquid called "agua de coco"
(cocoanut milk), which is very, palatable and has excellent diuretic
properties. When ripe, the fruit contains a greasy matter known as
" cocoanut oil," which is applied in a multitude of ways.
The best lands for the cocoanut are those near the coast, containing
a loose sandy soil.
The plant is propagated by means of seeds planted between January
and May, which produce seedlings in about six or eight months.
These are transplanted during the dry season from August to Novem-
ber and from January to April.
In the eastern portions of the island the cultivation of this plant
has reached important proportions, especially in Baracoa, where there
is an oil mill established for the manufacture of cocoanut oil and cocoa-
nut butter.
Each cocoanut tree will yield at the end of seven years, the period
of its highest development, about 40 cocoanuts.
During the fiscal year 1903-4 Cuba exported to the United States
cocoanuts to the value of $288,736.
TRUCK GARDENS.
There are extensive tracts of land in Cuba which, owing to their
fertility and location, are especially adapted to truck farming; but
the scarcity of population, bad roads, and the tendency, contrary' to the
most elemental and good principles of rural economy, of cultivating
on a large scale only two plants, cane and tobacco, all other necessary
articles being imported from foreign countries, brings about the
result that truck farming has not received the attention that it should
have done; not even small portions of land on plantations being
devoted to this class of products, sufficient to satisfy the wants of the
planter and his workmen. Only a short while ago no attention was
paid to truck farming except on lands having manifestly good condi-
tions and located on the outskirts of large cities, and then exclusively
for the purpose of supplying the home market. But, stimulated by
the betterment in the commercial relations between Cuba and the
United States, fresh garden products being very scarce in the latter
country during the winter season — the very time when they are at
their best in Cuba (December and January) — truck farming is acquir-
ing a rapid development and will no doubt reach such proportiona
102
HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
that a part of the territory of the island will be converted into the
great winter garden of the United States. This would result io
immediate and direct benefits and an increase in the trade of both
countries, giving Cuba the necessary stimulus which this class of cul-
tivation carries with it and the corresponding progress in agricultural
methods; inasmuch as, being eminently intensive and truck gardens
requiring constant and careful attention, it would come to be the best
school and field of experiment for the Cuban planter, who could learn
many useful lessons from the practical and advanced methods of gar-
dening as happens even now with many planters in portions of the
Provinces of Habana, Pinar del Rio, Matanzas, and Oriente, where
American gardeners have grown fine cabbages, egg plants, vegetable
pears, tomatoes, etc., vegetables that were formerly imported and
which to-day are easily obtained in the country.

owiii|2f to the fact that large shipmeDts are now made direct from
Habana to Chicago, instead of being all made, as heretofore, to New
York, which naturally resulted in overloading the market in that city,
and thus reduced the value of the fruit. The establishment of a pine-
apple canning factory in the vicinity of Habana would be a profitable
investment, as much of the fruit in excess of domestic needs can not
be shipped, especially after heavy rains. Other fruits, ripening either
before or after the pineapple and suitable for making marmalades,
would permit continuous employment of help and machinery.
A decided increase in the shipment of fruits other than pineapples,
and in vegetables, is noted in 1904. The Cuban orange is a delicious
fruit, and limes and lemons are of good quality and abundant. Toma-
toes, sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, eggplant, okra, etc., were also
up to expectation in quality and quantity and brought good prices.
The value of the crop of fruits (exclusive of pineapples) and vegeta-
bles amounted to $2,712,300.
DESCRIPTION OF CUBAN FRUITS.
AgvaccUe (alligator pear), — This is one of the. most popular fruits
in the Antilles; it is pear-shaped, green or purple, and often weighs
2 pounds. On account of the pulp being firm and marrow like, it is
also known as vegetable marrow or midshipman's butter. A very
good oil for soap comes from its seed. The tree is an evergreen about
25 or 30 feet high.
Caimito, — This fruit is purple or dark green on the outside. It has
a milky, fibrous meat, sweet and starchy, and a number of round, black
seeds. It grows on a tree.
Anon and Chirunoya (custard apple), — This is a heart-shaped fruit,
quite sweet, with a slightly acid taste, and very refreshing. Anon
has a scaly exterior, chirimoya, a smooth peel, and contains numerous
seeds buried in a pulp. It is sometimes known as bullock's heart on
account of its size and shape. It grows on trees 25 or 30 feet high.
Figs (higos). — Figs of all kinds grow luxuriantly.
Oranadilla. — This fruit grows on the vine which bears the passion
flower. The fruit is generally as large as a child's head. It is much
liked by the natives, who use it in making refreshments and desserts.
The meat is glutinous and contains many small seeds.
Otumabana, — This is a large fruit, about the size of a muskmelon,
with many seeds, and fibrous meat having a delicate flavor. It is used
for making refreshments, ices, and preserves, and is also eaten in its
natural state.
6hiava. — The guava is a black, globose, pulpy fruit, with an agree-
able acid flavor, and is used in making jelly, marmalade, etc. It is
largely cultivated in tropical countries, there being two varieties —
the red or apple-shaped, and the white or pear-shaped.
104 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Lima. — ^The lima is somewhat like the lime, but has the flavor of
the grape.
Lime (liirvon citrus). — ^The lime is the product of the Citrus Ivmetta
tree. The juice is used in cooling beverages in the tropics, and is
especially in demand in summer in higher latitudes. It is also boiled
and used in flavors.
Mammes (sapotd). — ^The mammee or sapota tree yields a fruit the
juice of which resembles marmalade. It is known locally as the
" mamey Colorado."
MaTTvonciUo. — ^This fruit grows in clusters. It is a species of plum;
it is tart, and has one fibrous pit.
Mango. — A fruit shaped somewhat like a pear, but attached to the
tree by the larger end. The meat is fibrous and clings to the seed,
somewhat as the meat of a clingstone peach does. It is generally
eaten in its natural state, but when green is sometimes boiled as a
vegetable. Its flavor when ripe is a combination of apricot and pine-
apple. There are several varieties of this fruit. The tree is 30 or 40
feet high.
Papaya {paw paw). — ^The papaya is about 10 inches long, commonly
of an oblong form, ribbed, and having a thick fleshy rind. It is eaten
raw, or, when green, is boiled as a vegetable; it is also pickled. The
tree is about 20 feet high and has large leaves. Meat boiled with a
small portion of the leaf is made tender; or meat can be made tender
by simply hanging it among the leaves. The seeds are used as a
vermifuge.
Sapote or sapotillo {plum). — ^This is a small brown fruit, with black
watermelon-like seeds and juice, which disappears with incipient
decay, when the fruit becomes very sugary.
FRUIT EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES.
Nearly all fruit and vegetables not consumed here are exported to
the United States, except cacao, which is shipped in considerable
quantities to Spain, German}^ England, and France. The value of
the fruit exports to the United States during the years 1899 to 1903
was as follows: 1899, $801,200; 1900, $1,181,700; 1901, $1,442,700;
1902, $1,906,600; 1903, $2,932,300.
CHAPTER VI
STOCK RAISING.
There are few countries better suited to stock raising than Cuba,
where grass is abundant at all seasons and where many streams fur-
nish a copious supply of good water. The breeding of stock was at
one time an important industry, but owing to the excessive taxes
during the period of Spanish domination, amounting to upward of 40
per cent of the value of the stock, and the great destruction due to
the serious revolutions which have taken place in the island, this
industry has been seriously crippled. The last two wars almost
entirely destroyed it; and as the duties on stock were almost pro-
hibitive and the stock was taken by the Government under one pre-
text or another as fast as imported, recovery was necessarily slow.
For example:
Duty on live stock.

Hones $86

Owing to the vast number and great variety of palm trees, the
berries of which (Palmiche) are a never-failing food supply for hogs,
of excellent quality, these animals can be raised in large numbers and
at a very little expense.
The number of cattle ranches and of live stock in the island, prior
to the outbreak of the war of independence, February 24, 1895, was

The foregoing tables show that at the beginning of the revolution
which resulted in the separation of Cuba from the mother countr}'^,
the total number of cattle of all kinds existing in the island was
3,719,179, which demonstrates the flourishing condition of the industry.
The awful work of devastation carried on by both the patriots and
the Spanish armies was responsible for the almost total extinction of
animal life in the western Provinces of the island, and even Camaguey
and Santa Clara, the two great cattle regions of Cuba, were well-nigh
dispossessed of live stock at the period of American intervention.
As soon as peace was declared the agriculturists and planters who
had some means at their command or credit made every possible effort
to replace their live stock. The Government, in turn, could not
remain indifferent to the appeals of the principal cattle owners in the
central and eastern parts of the island who had had their ranches
burned and destroyed by the war, and which they had not been able
to reconstruct or repair owing to lack of means, and thei'efore it
authorized, at the request of the department of agriculture, the con-
cession of an appropriation to import cattle and horses. The cargoes
began to arrive in the month of December, 1900, and were landed at
the ports of Tunas de Zaza, Casilda, Nuevitas, Gibara, Manzanillo,
Baracoa, and Puerto Padre. Five thousand four hundred and ninety-
four head of cattle and 1,158 horses were received in all and were dis-
tributed among the planters of said districts, under obligation to
reimburse the cost of said animals on dates agreed upon.
The Cuban cattle industry therefore is now being reconstructed,
although slowly. Every possible effort must be made to develop it in
order that fresh meat may be in the reach of all, especially the work-
ing classes, who, owing to the excessive price of meat, very seldom
partake of it. Of the 900,000 caballerias of land which constitute the
Cuban territory 400,000 ma}?^ be easily devoted to cattle for breeding
purposes, which, at the rate of 20 head per caballeria, would give a
total of 8,000,000, and this sum might be easily duplicated if a rational
and systematic method were pursued in the breeding of said cattle
in order to improve the stock. In this manner possibly the require-
ments of the home consumption would be provided for and even
sufficient animals to export to the neighboring Republics.
The number of cattle imported into the island during 1899 was
B99,S29; during 1900, 288,314; during 1901, 368,793.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 107

The total number of cattle, horses, mules, and asses in Cuba in Jan-
uary, ld02, as officially given in the State Department report, was as
follows:
Orttle 806,485
Horaee 137,312
Males 25,760
1,659
Showing an increase of over 100 per cent in cattle since 1899 and
of over 50 per cent in horses and mules.
The Government, by means of improvement committees (juntas
de fomento) established in Sancti Spiritus, Trinidad, Camaguey,
Holgufn, Bayamo, Baracoa, and Puerto Padre, distributed in 1901
4,336 cows, bulls and calves, and 1,178 mares; or a total of 5,494 head
of cattle, the cost of which reached the sum of $166,116.58 currency.
This cattle was distributed in lots, and promissory notes accepted in
payment, which became due in twelve, eighteen, twent^^-four, and
thirty months with 4 per cent interest, the animals remaining as Gov-
ernment property until the notes were canceled and said animals
inscribed as the property of their owners in the cattle register.
The President of the Republic, considering that the cattle industry
is the most natural and real source of wealth of the island; that the
500,000 caballerias calculated to be uncultivated can support 4,000,000
head of cattle; that of the total amount of live stock imported annually
200,000 head have to be placed in pasture with a profit of $2,000,000,
at the rate of $10 per head, addressed«a message to the Cuban Con-
gress, which resulted in the promulgation of the law of September 15,
1902, tending to stimulate and encourage private parties in the interest
and development of the Cuban cattle industry. The satisfactory
results of this law are clearly shown in data collected by the depart-
ment of finance and from which it is demonstrated that on September
30, 1903 (one year after the law had been passed), the amount of live
stock had increased from 1,143,442 head in existence on September
30, 1902, to 1,456,126 on the same date in 1903; that is, there was an
increase of 312,684 head, of which 28 per cent corresponded to beef
cattle, 24 per cent to horses, 15 per cent to mules, and 13 per cent to
asses.
Furthermore, as a result of the same law by which cows for breed-
ing purposes were exempted from the payment of import duties, there
were received during the same period 81,685 cows and calves, besides
the calves, mostly females, of 19,213 cows; all of which, added to those
already in the country, and those inscribed in the cattle registers,
gives a grand total of 553,790 head. In addition, considering the pro-
hibition there is to slaughter cows unless unproductive, and to export
any kind of cattle whatever, it can be stated that the day is not far
distant when the Republic will have suflicient live stock for its home

consumption, and if, as is to be hoped, there continues a favomble
development in the breeding of cattle, and the agricultural experimental
station takes the proper interest in propagating the practical and most
rational methods advised by zoology to improve, classify, and better
the condition of the stock, the day will come sooner or later when
there will be a surplus in the production of the country and the Cuban
producer, taking advantage of the low rates of freight prevailing
between Cuba and the United States, as compared with railroad rates
in the United States between the cattle-producing centers and the
great markets, can ship and sell his cattle at a profit.
The herds of horses, mules, and asses have also made great progress,
as it is shown that this class of stock in September, 1903, reached the
number of 197,672, 32,801, and 2,040, respectively, as against 169,149,
28,579, and 1,803 the previous year.

This industry, at one time one of the principal ones of Cuba, is
to-day making rapid progress toward regaining its former prominence,
and figures largely in the amount of importations into Cuba. From
the following table, covering the calendar years 1899 to 1903, it
appears that the importations from Mexico in the five years exceeded
those from the United States by nearly $4,000,000. This would not
be the case if our cattle dealers put forth a little more effort to gain
control of the Cuban market.

It will be noticed that during the past five years Mexico has supplied
about 33 per cent of all the cattle imported, and that the purchases
from the United States, which exceeded those from Mexico in 1899,
have steadily fallen off during 1900, 1901, and 1902, but appear to be
again increasing, which supports the argument that if stronger efforts
to do business arc made the object desired will be gained.
There are thousands of acres of land in Cuba suitable for cattle rais-
ing which can be purchased at from $1 to $3 per acre. Cattle do well
in this country. They fatten nicely and produce meat of good quality.
The percentage of loss on account of sickness is small.
The latest statistics published by the treasury department of Cuba
show that the number of live stock consumed and the kilograms of
meat were as follows during the last five j^ears:

CUSTOMS DUTIES ON LlVS STOCK.
The translation of a message sent by President Palma to the Cuban
Congress regarding changes in customs duties on live stock and on
barbed wire, as follows:
Republic of Cuba,
Executive Mansion.
CoNORlfiBS:
So imperious is the necessity of reestablishing the raising of live stock, the most
natural and certain of all the resources of this country, that the executive believes —
and without prejudice to the direct aid which he proposes to ask of Congress for its
encouragement and development — that private initiative should be stimulated by all
possible means, furnishing it a way to enable it to contribute, under favorable cir-
cumstances, to the same end.
To demonstrate this necessity and the incalculable benefit which providing for it
would bring to the country, the following considerations are, in the opinion of the
executive, sufficient:
(1) Of the 900,000 caballerias (30,000,000 acres) of which the land comprising the
territory of this island is composed, 500,000 caballerias (16,600,000 acres) are at
present uncultivated, for which reason they produce nothing. They are, however,
adapted to the raising of cattle, and in them at least 4,000,000 head could be splen-
didly cared for at the rate of 8 per caballeria (33} acres).
(2) Some 300,000 head being on an average the number consumed in the island
in one year, when Cuba succeeds by the restocking of her cattle farms in produdng
the same, their value — reasonably estimated at $30^ per head — would amount to
$9,000,000, a sum which would remain in the country instead of going to the foreign
lands from which such cattle are now obtained, and this aside from the $2,000,000
approximate value of the jerked beef at present consumed, aside from the value of
the hides, which can be estimated at $1,500,000, and aside from the amount derived
from cattle which could be exported to other countries from the surplus of Cuban
stock.
(3) Of the 400,000 head received throughout the island during the year, 200,000
should be sent to pasture before being slaughtered, according to reports from
authentic sources. As lean cattle, in the six months' pasture which it requires to
fatten, should, according to the estimates of competent persons, yield a profit of at
least $10 to the cattleman for the greater weight obtained, it results that if these
200,000 head are brought in lean to be sent to pasture instead of coming in fattened
for immediate slaughter, their fattening in this country would yield $2,000,000,
which would be distributed among the cattlemen and planters; or, that is to say, by
receiving them fattened the country would not enjoy this considerable profit, but it
would go to increase the treasure of a few merchants and of the foreign raisers.
However, while we are arriving at this longed-for result — that is, of producing in
Cuba the number of cattle required for its consumption — it becomes indispensable to
enact efficacious provisions directed not alone to the reproduction of this cattle, but
to causing that which is received from the exterior, in the meanwhile, to yield a
profit to the country before its slaughter, instead of obtaining it solely — as to-day
happens in the majority of cases — with reference to fattened cattle. The executive
is consequently of the opinion that the thing to do is to amend the present customs
tariffs to attain the end in view, as a principal means for stimulating private initiative
in this matter; the customs tariffs in force to-day tending more to favor speculators
than to protect the raising of cattle in Cuba. Under these tariffs (class 10, group 1)
the duties paid on live stock on its importation into this island are the following: &
a The present value of the Cuban dollar, or peso, is about 60 cents in United States
currency.

date from the year 1830, when corporations or companies were formed
for the purpose of working the copper mines iii the Province of Oriente;
and during the nineteen years following there were exported more
than 600,000 tons, valued at over $48,000,000, and this only from two
mines, the Consolidada and San Jose.
Subsequent to the paralization caused by the tirst war of independ-
ence (1868), and as a result of the demand for mineral, the spirit of
enterprise was stimulated, researches were made, with the result that
numerous copper and iron mines were discovered and worked in
Oriente. Soon after manganese mines were discovered in the same
Province, and naphtha, gold, and copper in Santa Clara.
A revival of the industry took place immediately after peace was
restored in 1899, considerable prospecting being done in the Province
of Pino del Rio, where it appears that coal mines exist. It is also
believed that asphalt and copper mines are to be found in the said
Province, and in those of Habana and Matanzas.
There is not at present sufficient knowledge regarding the real
minei*al richness of the island to form an exact opinion or to make an
accurate estimate of the same. In former times the mines were
profitably worked. The industry afterwards was totally stopped,
owing to the abnormal circumstances in which the island remained
during many years. The benefits of peace are giving new vigor to
this enterprise, judging from tho great number of petitions for con
cessions filed in the offices of the civil governors of Provinces.
The mineral resources of the island are rei)resented by the following
products: Gold, silver, iron, copper, manganese, lead, asphalt, petro-
leum, naphtha, graphite, amianthus, asbestos, zinc, mercury, and coal.
These minerals are found in most of the Provinces, but the richest
mineral district is the Province of Oriente, followed in importance bj'
Santa Clara, Camaguey, Pinar del Rio, Matanzas, and Habana.
The total number of mines surveyed, and the boundaries marked in
the island up to December 31, 1903, was 386, containing 20,871 hec-
tare, divided among the Provinces, and classified as follows:
AsphaJt 78 Graphito 2

HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
The total area of the mining region of Cuba is 56,396 acres, of
which 44,586 belong to the Province of Oriente, 4,288 acres to Santa
Clara, 5,202 to Cainaguey; 1,361 to Pinar del Rio; 444 to Matanzas;
and 514 to Habana.
Of the above number of mines very few of iron, manganese, and
copper, in the Province of Oriente, are in operation. The others can
be considered only as concessions waiting for funds for exploitation.
The administration, according to the laws in force, can not compel the
miners to operate their claims. The owner is in possession of his mine
to-perpetuity, and at his own will may work it or not. The only cause
of forfeiture established by the law is the failure to pay the annual
taxes.
The applicants for mines can, according to law, ask for one or
several claims at the same time. A claim (pertenencia) is 300 meters
(984 feet) long by 200 meters (656 feet) wide (6 hectares, or 14.8 acres),
except when the mines are of iron, coal, anthracite, lignite, turf,
asphalt, or bituminous clays, when the pertenencia is 500 meters (1,640
feet) long and 300 meters (984 feet) wide (15 hectares, or 37 acres).
The taxes to be paid to the Government are $5 yearly per hectare
(2.471 acres), or $30 for each claim containing 6 hectares (14.8 acres),
when the mines are of precious stones or metalliferous substances.
In the other cases, the tax is $2 per hectare (2.471 acres), and there-
fore the total to be paid for the pertenencia may be $12 or $30,
according to the surface of the claim.

RECENT MINING OPERATIONS.
[NoTS.— Tbe fallowing statoments and table? are extracted from a report on the mineral resources of
Cuba in 1901, prepared by Harriet Connor Brown, of the Division of Mining and Mineral Resources,
under the direction of Dr. David T. Day, of the United States Geological Survey, at Washington,
D. C, for General Wood, and inserted in General Wood's civil report of 1902.]
The commercial production of metals (in 1901) was confined to the
Province of Oriente and included only iron and manganese. Three
companies in Santiago de Cuba, all practically controlled by one
American corporation, produced the iron mined in the island last year,
and one company in Santiago de Cuba, also an American organization,
produced all the manganese taken from Cuba, with the exception of
two small special shipments of a few hundred tons each made by other
parties. There was no production of copper save that of a few hun-
dred tons shipped as samples from the Provinces of Oriente, Cama-
guey, and Matanzas, but it will surprise most people to know that
there was any. Asphalt was produced on a commercial scale in the
four Provinces of Habana, Matanzas, Santa Clara, and Camaguey.
Each of the six Provinces contributed to the total production of brick,
stone, and lime. The total value of mineral products for the year
1901 amounted to $3,279,978.

Although the results of this canvass of the island's mineral resources
seem thus insignificant, the investigation is interesting as showing that,
under reasonable promise of political and industrial peace, numerous
enterprises will be established for the further development of Cuba's
mineral wealth!
IRON.
The iron ore found throughout the Sierra Maestra Range is both
hematite and magnetite. As it is rich in iron and low in sulphur and
phosphorus, it is particularly adapted to the Bessemer process. The
average analysis of ore produced by the Spanish-American Iron (Com-
pany during 1901 was as follows:
Per cent.
Metallic iron 62. 5
Phosphonifl 032
Silica 7.5
Per cent.
Sulphur 0.11
Copper 20
It is interesting to note that the quarry system is used exclusively
in the development of all these iron properties, as there are no mines
at all in the ordinary sense of the term. The ore is found in small
irregular bodies, without definite walls, near the tops of hills. The
ore, which is extremely hard, is loosened from the countiy rock by
means of sledges and explosives, and steam shovels are employed to
remove the upper soil and debris. One of the chief diflBculties of the
proposition is that of sorting the ore from the country rock.
The annual shipments of iron ore from Cuba since the opening of
the mines in the Province of Oriente in 1884 is shown in the following

The only occurrences of iron ore that seem to have attracted atten-
tion in the Province of Santa Clara are in the Trinidad district.
In different parts of the island are numerous denouncements of
mines, from which the samples assay well in both iron and copper, so
that the prospects might be properly classitied under either head.
Numerous prospects of iron have been reported from the Province
of Pinar del Rio. Iron properties were worked here years ago on a
sugar plantation near the Bay of Bahia Honda. About GO miles from
Bahia Honda, near Dimas, are deposits recently denounced by Senor
Eduardo M. Acevedo, of Habana. He reports that the samples run

about 70 per cent metallic iron, with a little manganese. It is under-
stood that the Cuban Mining and Development Company (Limited) of
England, which has been opening up copper properties at Bahia Honda,
is also interested in various denouncements of iron in this Province.
•
MANGANESE.
The production of manganese ore in Cuba during the year 1901
amounted to 24,104 long tons, valued at $96,791. With the exception
of a few hundred tons, this output was all produced by the Ponupo
Mining and Transportation Company, of Santiago de Cuba. The
mines of this company are near La Maya, about 16 miles northeast of
El Cristo. From La Maya a branch connects with the Sabanilla y
Moroto Railroad, thus enabling the ore to be transported into the city
of Santiago de Cuba. The Ponupo group includes the Vencedora, the
Sultana, the Balkanes, the Inca, the Generala, the Serrallo, and the
Mascota mines, but the Vencedoi-a is the only one of the group that
has been worked. This company made its first shipment of ore in
1895. Operations were discontinued for a while during the last war,
but were resumed in 1898 and have been steadily carried on ever since.
The occurrence of manganese in the Vencedora mine is in pockets
associated with jasper. Some of the larger and better pockets are
nearly exhausted, but some prospecting has been done on other prop-
erties, with the result that ore has been found in the numerous pits
sunk there, and work will begin on these properties as soon as it is
necessary in order to keep up the output. The Ponupo ore averages
about 47 per cent metallic manganese. The product is subjected to a
process of washing before being shipped. For this purpose concen-
trators of the jig t3'pe, known as the Lehigh washers, are used, being
similar to those employed in the United States to wash brown hematite
ores.
About 3 miles southeast of the town of El Cristo are the Boston
mines, formerl}' known as the Avispero group. This property is at
present operated by the Standard Manganese Company, of New York
City. The first shipment, consisting of 2,500 tons of ore, was made
about the middle of June, 1902. The main features of the concentra-
tion plant are 10 llartz jigs. A large Corliss engine furnishes the
necessary power. A combination of improved "log washers" is
installed, including a picking table. Water for the work is supplied
through the agency of six h3^draulic engines of 6-inch deliver}^ each,
assisted during dry weather by a steam pump. These combine to
raise the water 150 feet from the Guaninicum River to the mill. The
work at the mine consists of an open cut across the crest of a hill
through sandstone, mixed sandstone, and manganese. The ore occurs
in pockets, the bulk of it being in wash dirt. By picking, some very
^ood manganese is obtained which does not require washing. The
HANDBOOK OF CtJBA. 119
mineral, which consists of the different oxides of manpfanese in con-
junction with quartz, is found with quantities of large and tine crystals
of pyrolusite. When ready for shipment the ore is reported to run
50 per cent metallic manganese and upward, with 1 to 3 "per cent iron
and an extremely small amount of sulphur and phosphorus.
Besides the San Luis district, which includes the properties men-
tioned near La Maya and El Cristo, numerous other districts in the
Province of Oriente boast deposits of manganese sufficientl}^ large to
l)e considered commercially attractive. These include the Majaba Hill
district, about 21 miles northwest of Santiago de Cuba; Los Negros
district, about 75 miles west-northwest of Santiago; the Bueycito dis-
trict, about 42 miles east of Manzanillo; the Portillo district, nfear
Portillo, on the south coast; and the Macio district, between (juama
and Santiago de Cuba.
The manganese found in these Cuban deposits usually occurs in lime-
stone and sandstone associated with a secondary silica called jasper.
The ore is not in large bodies, but in small pockets, ii^egularly scat-
tered, deposits varying in size from a pebble to masses that would
weigh several hundred tons. Manganese is also found in the form of
wash dirt, which is the result of decomposition of the original ore-
bearing rocks. Most of the Cuban ore is in this form.
The Engineering and Mining Journal of February 14, 1903, in mak-
ing a report on manganese mining in Cuba, states that the Ponupo
mine is the most important in Cuba, and it is likely to maintain that
position. The output for last year was 88,000 tons, averaging 49 per
cent manganese. This property is more extensively developed than
any other manganese property in Cuba, and has several reserve
deposits as yet only exploited enough to demonstrate the presence of
manganese in quantity. One of these is now about to be developed.
The Ponupo mine proper is a dome-shaped hill about 80 acres in
extent, situated about 650 feet above sea level and 125 feet above a
small stream to the north and east. On the south a liranch railroaa
extends into the surface workings. Tlie ore is found well distributed
over the entire hill. It is mingled, more or less, with !)yates, which are
mixtures of jasper and manganese oxide. In some places the byate
exists in immense masses weighing several linudred tons. The man-
ganese oxide may be either massive or penetrate into the byate.
Beds, blankets, or pockets of manganese oxide occur, for the most
part parallel to the surface of the hill; more than one huer may occur
and the overburden varies from pmctically nothing to 10 or 15 feet.
The ore varies from nearl}- pure manganese oxide to mixtures of
rock and dirt. At this time it is deemed advisable to work only such
material as can be separated by a log washer, of which there are three
at this time. The tailings carry from 15 to 8o per cent manganese,
and are impounded, as the laws do not permit of their being turned
into the stream.
120 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Constant prospecting fof new ore is going on, and upon the 700 acres
owned b}' the compan}' several new deposits have been discovered.
The number of men employed varies from 150 to 225; wages are 85
cent« per day. The usual output of these mines is 2,000 tons of ore
per month. The prospective yield for next year is the same as for
1902.
These mines are situated 22 miles from Santiago. The freight rate
is $39 per car of 30 tons; the royalty, 7 per cent. Transport to New
York is $1.80 to $2 per ton; cost of mining, $2.25. A cargo of from
2,000 to 4,000 tons is kept on hand at the mine. Upon arrival of a
vessel it is delivered to the ship at the rate of 400 tons per day.
The Boston and Ysabelita mines are now being worked. The former
has on hand about 2,000 tons of ore, which has been separated by a
double-process log washer in combination with compound jigs. This
mine has its own railroad from the main line at Cristo, about 3 miles
distant.
This company also has an aerial tram from the mine to the mill, a
distance of 3,000 feet. Operations have begun, and it remains to be
seen if the jig process in the mill is to be a success.
COPPER.
The first mines worked in the island were the copper mines at a
place appropriatel}' called El Co})re, about 12 niilew w est of the city of
Santiago de Cuba. They were opened up about 158(> and worked by
the Spanish (iovernment as Crown possessions for sonic two hundred
years, and then abandoned. They had been idle for more than a
century when an English company, usually denominated The Consoli-
dated, was organized with a capital of $2,400,000 and 12,000 shares,
and reopened these mines in 1830, employing about 2,000 men in
their development. A few years later a new comptmy, called the San
fjose Conn>any (Empresa de San Jose), was organized; other com-
panies of minor importance were organized about this same time, and
some of them carried on opei^ations. Ths records of Santiago de
Cuba show that !)etween $50,000,000 and $60,000,000 worth of ore
was taken from ¥A Ck)bre between the years 1830 and 1868. It is said
that between 1851 and 1862 The Consolidated and the San Jose
exported 178,595 tons of ore, valued at $16,r>28,168. A railroad to
convey the ovo was })uilt in 1843 from El Cobre to Santiago Bay, and,
apparently, prosperity was in the air.
About that time trouble began. The railroad was owned b}^ a
Spanish corporation organized in Habana, with which the mine owners
became involved in litigation on the subject of rates. The milroad
won the lawsuit, but got little satisfaction out of its triumph, for,
owing to the exorbitant freight charges, the reduced price of copper,
and the unsettled political condition of the country, the mines were
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 121
soon obliged to shut down. The buildings and machinery of El
Cobre, which included an enormous Cornish pump and a concentra-
tion plant, were entirely destroyed during the wars, the railroad was
virtually wrecked, and the mines became so flooded that it was not
even possible to inspect them.
About two years. ago an American company, which had acquired
the titles of the old companies, took hold of the mines and began to
unwater them. They took for a name a modification of one long since
familiar, The San Jose Copper Mining Company. In the meantime
the Empresa del Ferrocarril y Minas del Cobre, which took its name
from the old railroad, showed signs of reviving activity under the
leadership of its president, Senor Gonzdlez Mendoza, of Habana.
These interests were combined about February 1, 1902, in a new com-
pany incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, with the name of
El Cobre Mines. Practically all the copper mines of this district that
have ever reached any degree of development are now under the con-
trol of this one (5ompany.
The greater part of the copper produced in Cuba during 1901 was
extracted from the upper workings of mines owned b}^ the Empresa
del Ferrocarril y Minas del Cobre. It amounted to 510 tons of chal-
copyrite, all of which was shipped to New York, and to Swansea,
England. The 260 tons shipped to New York sold for about %66 a
a ton, the assays showing 23 per cent of metal. In addition to the
chalcopyrite, about 30 tons of cement copper (cobre cementado) were
also produced, as noted above. This cement copper was made by
precipitating in tanks, through the agency of scrap iron, the copper
being held in solution in the water that had drained old waste dumps.
Numerous indications of copper have been found in the vicinity of
Santiago de Cuba, but no considerable deposits other than those at
El Cobre have been located. Copper stains arc seen at various points
on the first 20 miles of railwav out of San Luis. Near the town of
Dos Palmas, about 12 miles northwest of El Cobre, is a mine known
as the *' Imprevista,'^ on the plantation of La Union. Here is a showing
of native copper in masses and amygdules scattered through conglom-
erate. No systematic exploitation of the deposits has l>een under-
taken, but a number of shafts have been sunk. There has been no
production of ore, the nature of the work being pureh' that of pras-
pecting. It is said that there are promising copper prospects south-
east of Manzanillo, and indications of copper ore have l>een found in
the vicinity of El Caney. In the early part of the last century copper
mines were actively worked in the neighborhood of Gibara.
Up to the year 1830 the only copper properties in Cuba that were
developed were in the province of Oriente, but about that time numer-
ous prospects were discovered in the Provinces of CamagQey, Santa
Clara, and Matanzas. The most notable deposits in the Province of
122
HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Camaguey that were worked in past days were those near the town of
Las ilinas, which is about 27 miles east of the city of Camaguey,
on the Puerto Principe and Nuevitas Railway. Here are many old
shafts, some of which show evidences of having been decidedly pro-
ductive in past years. These have recently been somewhat devel-
oped by the Cuban Mining Company. This company possesses twelve
copper properties, which are as follows:

There are numerous copper prospects in the Province of Santa
Clara. The country around Trinidad is considered promising ground
for the prospector. Surface indications of copper and iron are very
frequent, especially in the range of mountains lying between Trinidad
and Sancti Spiritus, and many of these occurrences have been denounced.
The Manicaragua district has long been considered especially rich in
mineral resources. The principal interesting prospects of this locality
were visited by the geological reconnaissance party of 1900. These
included four copper mines on the Finca San Joaquin, about 12 miles
west of Manicaragua, the north side of the River Arimao.
The only copper prospect in Matanzas Province which has been at
all developed is El Recreo, a property about 7 miles from the city of
Matanzas and 5 miles from the north coast, counting the port of
Escondido as the nearest seaport. The Matanzas and Canasi macad-
amized road runs one-half mile south of the mine, and the Matanzas
and Escondido road passes through the property.
ASPHALT.
Bituminous deposits, including everything from a clear translucent
oil resembling petroleum, through maltha, ehapapote, or mineral tar,
and asphalt to hard grahamite, glance pitch, and substances that so
nearly resemble bituminous and lignite coal as to be denominated by
the natives of the island ^'carbon de piedra," are found in every Prov-
ince of Cuba. The best advertised of these various bitumens is the
asphalt (asfalto), a word locally applied to a wide variety of forms, the
only modifying term usually thought necessary being ''solido," or
"liquido," so that a bituminous deposit of any kind in Cuba is usually
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 123
described by its owner as a mine of hard or soft asphalt, as the case
may be. Many of these deposits have been worked more or less
extensively in past years. Oil has been found in Cuba which has
been successfully refined on the island and used as an illuminant, also
as a fuel; asphalt is mined there, which is being employed as an
enricher in the manufacture of gas, and is also doing duty as material
for roofing and for street pavements; grahamite and glance pitch are
found there, which sell in this country and abroad to manufacturers
of varnishes and paints; and on at least one plantation a substance is
being mined which performs the functions of coal in the kitchen.
Whatever the exact and proper titles for these various forms of bitu-
men, their uses would seem to be suflSciently varied and the deposits
extensive enough to be of some commercial interest.
It is sometimes stated that Cuban asphalt tried on the streets of
Washington has been a failure. This statement is disputed by Mr.
A. L. Dow, the District chemist. It is true that some Cardenas asphalt
laid on Fourteenth street has not been considered a success, but it
is acknowledged to have been badly put down. On the other hand,
about 4,000 square yards of asphalt furnished by the West Indies
Company and put down on Connecticut avenue has proved eminentl}'
satisfactory. Mr. Dow also states that the Hamel-Re^^naldos asphalt
used on F street northeast has worn well.
These bituminous deposits are chiefly found along the north shore
of the island, extending in a broken semicircle from Bahia Honda, in
the Province of Pinar del Rio, to Puerto Padre, in the Province of
Oriente.

on others, but an approximate estimate would be about 120 tons of
sugar per hogshead of 1,500 pounds. As the exact number of tons of
sugar produced in Cuba in 1901 amounted to 621,589 English tons, it
follows that over 3,468 tons of lime were consumed on the sugar
estates of the island. Most of the sugar planters have limestone
deposits on their plantations and burn the lime as it is required.
MARBL£.
The only marble of importance is that which is found in the two
mountains east and west of Nueva Gerona, on the north coast of the
Isle of Pines. The marble is of good quality, ranging from a good
white statuary stone through various shades of blue-veined to dark
gray. Specimens with pinkish tints are also found. Some of the mar-
ble is reported by experts to be suitable for the finest statuary, the
color being the purest white. Other varieties of different hues are
suitable for ornamentation and art, as they take on a good polish. The
stone is free from cracks, and will furnish slabs of any size, the
deposits varying from 5 to 25 feet in thickness, and being so situated
as to meet all requirements of convenient and economical transporta-
tion to points of shipment on the coast.
SALT DEPOSrrS.
There are important deposits in Varadero, Cardenas, and Cayo
Romano.
A salt deposit exists near Salinas Point, Isle of Pines. From this
point to the third Salinas Point there are large clear salt pit«, without
trees, easy to work, which increase in width for some distance.
OUTPUT OF CUBAN MINES.
The annual production of the number of mines actually operated,
namely, 5 asphalt, 3 copper, 12 iron, 3 manganese, and 1 naphtha, give
a total output valued at $1,446,000, as follows: Asphalt, 11^122,900;
copper, approximately, $13,068; iron, $1,146,892; manganese, §163,140.
NAMES OF MINES AND THEIR LOCATION.
The names of mines, the owners, location, and annual output in 1904
in tons are as follows:
Asphal'L — Union mine, located at Guanajay, Pinar del Rio Province;
10,000 tons annual product; owners, Zardain & Aspuru. The Angela
Elmira mine, located at Bejucal, Habana Province; annual output,
3,000 tons; owners. West Indies Company. The Maria Rayon mine,
at Moron, Camaguey; output, 180 tons; owner, M. A. Glynn. The
Amparo mine, owner, Francisco Moreno, and the Desengafio, owner,
Grerardo Abiegn, both located at Sancti Spiritus, Santa Clara Province,
have an annual output of about 126 tons each.
126 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Copper, — The copper mines in operation are located at Cobre,
Oriente. The Caridad and Concepcion are owned by Maximaliano
Salcedo; the Mina Grande is owned by the Cobre Mine Company.
Iron. — The iron mines in operation are owned by two companies,
namely, the Spanish-American Iron Company and the Juragua Iron
Company, all located at Caney, Oriente Province. The Spanish-
American Iron Company's mines, Lola, Lola 2d, San Antonio, and
San Rafael, sfave an output last year of 493,860 tons, while the
Jui^gua Iron Company's mines, Abundancia, Firmena, Resolucion,
Fomento, Jupiter, Union, Constancia, and Columbia, gave an output
of 235,476 tons; the total output of iron being 729,336 tons.
Man-ganese. — The Vencedores and the Serallo mines, owned by the
Ponupo Mining Company at Alto Songo, Oriente Province, produced
last year 26,352 tons. The Boston mine, at Caney, Oriente Province,
owned by the Standard Manganese Company, produced 6,267 tons.
Total manganese produced during the year 32,628 tons.
Naphtha. — At Rancho Veloz, in the Province of Santa Clara, a mine
known as San Juan de Motembo produced 60 tons of naphtha.
MINING LAWS.
In a pamphlet published by the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the
United States War Department, entitled "The Mining Law," is quoted
the law in force, which is that of July 6, 1859, with the modifications
introduced March 4, 1868. This is the law in force in Spain and was
declared in force in this island by royal decree issued October 10,
1883. The rules and instructions of July 24, 1868, and the law con-
taining the new basis on which all legislation on mines was to rest in
the future, is also contained in the pamphlet referred to. The number
of mines declared in Cuba exceeds 700, and the area covered is 70,000
acres.
CHAPTER VIII.
MANUFACTURING AND OTHER INDUSTRIES— DEVELOPMENT,
PRODUCTION, LAWS GOVERNING TAXES, ETC.
Cuba being a thinly populated country its agricultural industries
are the most important. Among the latter the production of sugar
and preparation of tobacco for the manufacture of cigars and ciga-
rettes occupy the first place.
NUMBER OF SUGAR ESTATES.
The number of sugar plantations or mills in the island of Cuba is
very small as compared with the number existing in the year 1877,
for out of 473 plantations manufacturing sugar at that time only 1()9 did
so in the crop of 1902-1903. This fact, however, has not diminished
the amount, inasmuch as the necessity of reducing the cost of produc-
tion has brought with it an increase in the output of the mills, and the
disappearance of those plantations that were not able to adapt them-
selves to present conditions. The plantations proper were substituted
by the "centrales." The latter grind not only the cane grown on their
own fields but also all the cane that can he obtained from the surround-
ing country; and in many cases the raw material comes from great dis-
tances and is hauled to the mill by public railroads or lines owned by
the estate. It can, therefore, be safel}" asserted that the crops, instead
of being reduced, have increased from 460,810 tons, which was the
output of the crop of 1877, to 1,000,000 tons produced by a nmch
smaller number of plantations, or say less than one-half the number
existing in 1877.
From data obtained in the department of agriculture it is found that
during the fiscal year 1899-1900 there were 574 plantations on the
island, of which 483 had been to a greater or less extent destroyed,
leaving 91 in good condition. Of the number first mentioned 97 are
being reconstructed. In the crop of 1900-1901 (the first after peace
was established) 157 plantations manufactured sugar, with an output
of 621,589 tons; in 1901-2, 168 plantations manufactured sugar with
an output of 871,913 tons, and lastly, during the year 1902-3, the
same number, 168, gave an output of 1,028,379 tons.

»
The yield per cent of sugar from cane ground, which was 8.9 from
first boilings and 0.08 from the second in 1900-1901, rose to 9.083 and
1.859, respectively, in 1901-2, falling during the following crop,
1902-3, to 8.886 and 0.825, due to a less rich molasses from cane con-
taining a smaller proportion of saccharine matter.
COST OF MANUFACTURmG SUGAR.
As the factors contributing to fix the price of cane — the raw material
of the sugar industry — vary, as well as those that influence the pro-
cess of manufacturing, according to the economic conditions in which
they are developed, resulting from the technical and practical knowl-
edge of the planter, the cost of manufacturing sugar also varies con-
siderably. Nevertheless, and with the object only of giving an approx-
imate idea of the cost of production, the following calculation is made.
The price of 100 arrobas of cane placed at the mill is $2.60; admit-
ting that salaries, wages, and other general expenses for handling 100
arrobas are 80 cents to $1.20, the latter depending upon the size of the
plantation, its resources, location; or, say, on an average $1.00, and
that the yield of sugar is 10 per cent (the average obtained in the last
two crops), the total cost of an arrobaof sugar would be, including the
value of the cane, 2.60+1.00-hl0=$0.36; and if we calculate the cost
of transportation to the nearest shipping port, on an average 5 cents
per arroba, the result would be that an arroba of sugar, delivered in
the warehouses on the coast, will cost $0.41, or at the rate of $3.57
per hundred kilograms without including interest on the capital and
accumulation of the same.
ALCOHOL.
This industry, an oflFspring of the manufacture of sugar, and which
permits molasses— a residue of said article— to be utilized, attained at
one time an important place in the industries of the island, during
which period alcohol for export to South American countries was pro-
duced in large quantities. Subsequenth^ the import duties placed
upon the article b}^ Argentina and Uruguay, tlu^ principal consumers
of Cuban ale hoi, were greatly increased with the object of protecting
their own product, since which time the production has been reduced
to the amount necessary for home consumption only.
In the Province of Oriente there are a number of distilleries where
rum of excellent quality is made, especially the famous lion Bacardi.
Although it is diflBcult to furnish accurate information relative to
the cost of producing alcohol in Cuba, it can he stated that 100 kilo-
gmms of molasses testing 50^ yield 33 liters of alcohol of 42^ Cartier,
and if alcohol is made directly from cane juice it will require to
obtain 25 pipotes (173 American gallons) of 40^ Cartier, 17,000 arrobas
of cane, which, at the price of $2.60 per hundred, will cost $442, and

nearest port, and the interest and return of the capital, taxes, etc., at
$367, the total cost of 25 pipotes will be $809, or $32.36 each, or 19
cents per gallon.-
The market price of a pipe of 40^ alcohol fluctuates between iM:2
and $48, according to the quality.
TOBACCO.
The manipulation of the tobacco leaf after it has been harvested,
with the object of preparing it for the manufacture of cigars and
cigarettes, constitutes the agricultural industr}^ of tobacco.
This operation is reduced to drying, piling, sorting, and baling the
leaf and costs about $1,72J>, which, added to the $7,940 iis the cost of
cultivation, makes a total of $9,669.
The cost of production is about the same all over the island, but
naturally this is subject to variation, according to the localit3% quality
of the land, methods of cultivation, price of labor, and other factors
that have an influence on production in general.
According to the agricultural expert, Mr. J. B. «Timenez, in the
Provinces of Pinar del Rio and Santa Clara, tobacco in bulk can not be
obtained for less than from 15 to 20 cents and from 8 to 10 cents per
pound, Spanish gold, and allow any margin of profit to the buyer.
TOBACCO TRADE.
The tobacco factories established in the principal cities and towns
of the island employ a considerable numl^er of men and women, and
the importance of their production is evidenced by the fact that during
the last fiscal year, 1902-3, 204,848,643 cigars, valued at $12,3t)5,530,
were exported; 13,197,210 packages of cigarettes, valued at $364,660,
and 161,051 pounds of cut tobacco, worth $60,445.
The importance of this industry is also shown by the magnificent
buildings in which the tobacco factories of the city of Habana are
established, where employment is given to thousands of workmen,
many of whom, the selectors for example, make from $5 to $6 \h'v
day.
The number of cigars made for export from Cuba in 1902 is repre-
sented by the figure, 208,041,295; and during that same pericKl there
were exported more than 90,000,000 cigarettes. In 1859, Culm
exported 250,000,000 cigars, of which quantity the United States
imported 102,000,000, and thirty years af terwaixls the importations of
the United States were one-third of that number.
From January 1 to December 15, of 1902 there were exported
through the port of Habana 244,694 tierces, 199,130,826 tobai^co
twists, 11,279,307 small boxes of cigars, and 62,107 kilograms of cut
tobacco. From January 1 to December 15, of 1903, there were

exported through our port 270,191 tierces, 200,183,396 tobacco twists,
14,026,784 small boxes of cigars, and 106,627 kilograms of cut tobacco.
That is to say, that there has been an increase in favor of the current
year of 1903 of 25,497 tierces, 1,052,570 tobacco twists, 2,747,477
small boxes of cigars, and 44,520 kilograms of cut tobacco.
About 19,000 persons are employed in the tobacco industry in Habana,
and in May, 1901, there were in this city 116 tobacco factories, besides
51 manufacturers on a small scale, which, according to law, can not
employ more than 7 tobacco workers each, and whose manufacture is
for domestic sale.

amounted to 226,648 pounds, valued at $81,031, of which the United
States received 75,205 pounds, valued at $23,583, and Colombia 57,283
pounds, valued at $21,201.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY.
Although there are in the island of Cuba about 70 caballerias of
land planted in henequen (hemp) and three or four industrial plants
with the necessary machinery to prepare the fiber for market, the out-
put is yet limited and insufficient to furnish the quantity of raw
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 131
material required to supply existing manufactories; these being com-
pelled to use imported liber, the latter coming principally from Yuca-
tan. During the fiscal year 1902-3, 1,649 tons, valued at $245,872,
were imported from the latter country, as against 6,830 tons in 1899-
1900. This was due no doubt to the high prices obtained for hene-
quen, which resulted in an increased number of plantations being
established in Cuba, and there is little doubt that in the near future
she will be able to produce from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 pounds, which
is the amount necessary to supply the home market.
In the north coast of the island there are large tracts of high land
of rocky formation, specially used for the cultivation of hemp, and
the persons who have studied the matter aflirm that this industry
would be very profitable if properly attended to. The leaf is said to
contain 10 per cent more fiber than the plant that has been such a
source of wealth to the Yucatan Peninsula, and the quality of this
fiber is about the same in Cuba. The production is on the average
68 pounds of fiber to every thousand leaves.
Messrs. Heydrich, Rafiloer & Co. established in 1890 a large factory
in Habana, and in 1900 they purchased a small factory that had been
working for the last twenty years in Regla, and since then their suc-
cessors, Rafiloer, Erbsloeh & Co., have been doing business on a large
scale. Last year they imix)rted 3,500,000 pounds of Yucatdn hemp
and 2,000,000 pounds from Manila. At present they are cultivating
hemp in two Provinces of the island, and they expect that within two
years the Cuban production will reach 2,000,000 pounds and that at
no distant date it will be sufficient for the consumption of the factory.
Working night and day the factor}^ makes 35,000 pounds of rope and
bagging per diem, and, with the exception of the tarred rope imported
from Spain and Itah', the factories at Regla and Habana are furnish-
ing 95 per cent of the rope consumed in Cuba, and they use all the
fiber cultivated in the island, which in 1904 amounted to 550,(»00 pounds.
This factory is situated fronting the sea, thus facilitating the unload-
ing on the wharf of the raw material and its transportation l)y means
of a railway to the warehouses.
The establishment contains all kinds of machinery, with which is
manufactured from the finest thread to the heaviest and strongest
cables for ships and other purposes.
It is provided with two steam engines and two dynamos, has a
repair shop, boiler rooms, and warehouses, with sufficient capacity for
5,000 bales of henequen.
It is generally believed that in five or six years the production of
fiber will be more than sufficient for the national consumption and that
a large amount will be exported.

liquor**, pre3?e^ve?^ and <weet>, and others dependent upon sugar;
*!ome again, ^uch as cooperage and box making, are subordinate to the
tobacco indastrv; and there are vet others, as for instance the manu-
facture of cement, beer, shoes^. iron, paper, soap, etc*., that are sus-
ceptible of great derelopment. which they will surely acquire in the
same manner that new industries will be established in proportion as
the country becomes more thickly populated, and the present prosper-
ous condition brought about by the new state of affairs continues.
The breweries of the Republic pay at the present time 40,000 pesos
monthly in wages. The consumption of beer in the island is 70,000
kegs, of which quantity the Cuban factories produce 40.000 kegs per
annum.
There is but one paper factory in Cuba. It is situated in the sub-
urbs of Habana. and manufactures letter and writing paper, as well as
roll paper for newspaper work, and wrapping paper. This factory
employs 2<X» persons, pays monthly in wages 10,000 pesos, and pro-
duces 8 or 9 tons of paper daily.
The soap manufactured in Cuba amounts to about 150,000 boxes
annually. The consumption of soap in the Republic is approximately
!^00,000 boxes, 5<>,00i> of which are imported. The soap factory at
Hal>ana pays monthly in wages 15,<H.>0 pesos.
The monthly production of the chocolate factories is about 2(X),000
pounds. Messrs. Vilaplara Guerrero & Company's factory produces
5(», WO pounds monthly and uses domestic refined sugar. This factory
uses 500 to 600 bags of American flour every month in the manufac-
ture of ci*ackers.
There are eight lithographic establishments in Habana. These
give employment to 400 workmen and disburse in wages 10,000 pesos
a month.
The principal petroleum refinery in the Republic is that operated b^'
the West India Refining Company. This company employs 150 work-
men, and disburses in wages about 1,300 pesos per month. The
annual duties paid on crude petroleum by this company amounts to
$160,(K)0.
Among others not mentioned before, there are in Cuba about 15
sawmills, about 60 tanneries and hide-curing establishments, several
match factories, about 100 distilleries, about 40 factories of cigar boxes
and other boxes, 4<> factories of artificial waters, a dozen foundries,
trunk factories, gas work.s and electric light works in many cities and
towns of secondary importance, canneries, ice factories, vermicelli
factories, perfumery factories, factories of musical instruments, cabi-

network, shirt factories, and a number of small establishments not
using power machinery.
FISHERIES.
The fishing industry in Cuba is quite important as well as profitable.
This is shown by the fact that in the port of Batabano alone, during
the 3'ears 1900-1901, 3,434,928 pounds of fish were caught, valued at
$173,010.73.
The food fisheries, both coast and deep-sea, produce enough fresh
fish to supply the domestic market, but nothing for export. The
Cuban fishermen have their own vessels, but the Cuban merchant
marine is very small in ita entirety, including only about 35 or 40
steamers and a few schooners, aside from the fishing boats.
The value of shells, tortoise and other, gathered during the year
1904, amounted to about $75,000.
Sponge fishing is elFected principally in the ports of Batabano,
Cardenas, Caibarien, Isabela de Sagua, and Nuevitas. Sponges are
classified for legal and commercial purposes in three groups, as follows:
First, the common grade, consisting of those vulgarly known as
aforadas de ojo (called female and cave males); second, the hairy male
and the silky sponge; and third, fine males.
The minimum size of sponge allowed by law to be caught for com-
mercial purposes (except specimens intended for scientific studies) is
40 centimeters in circumference for the common sponge, and 30 centi-
meters for the fine male grade; the above dimensions understood to be
in the smallest diameter.
The total production during the year 1903 was 960,115 dozen
sponges, including all grades, valued at $501,575.42. The total yield
was divided between 095,384 males and 204,731 females, and as com-
pared with that of 1901, which was 080,422 dozen, shows an increase
of 72 per cent.
Of the latter the United States received about 35 per cent and
Europe the remainder, France being the principal buyer. The exports
of sponges and shells in 1904 amounted to $145,000 more than in 1S99.
ANIMAL PRODUCTS.
Skins, horns, and hoofs of animals are almost entirely shipped to
the United States.
BEE CULTURE.
The culture of bees assumes each day greater proportions in the
island of Cuba. The fields covered with many and variegated flowers
furnish the busy insect the nectar it requires, to be converted later
into aromatic honey, without having to struggle against the rigors
of winter, as is the case in other countries, as the flowers most
134 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
adequate for the purpose bloom precisely during the months of
December and January.
There are three varieties of bees in Cuba, the native, the German,
which was introduced from Florida in 1764, and the Italian, character-
ized by the yellow stripes covering its body, the latter being consid- ,
ered the most productive.
As bee culture requires but little care, it can contribute to a great
extent to the income of the farmer, if properly attended to.
HONEY AND WAX.
In 1902 there existed in the island about 3,712 hives (3,412 of native
and 299 of American bees) with 82,123 boxes (68,298 of the former
and 13,825 of the latter), which yielded 262,656 gallons of honey and
102,857 arrobas of wax, the average price per gallon of the former
being 25 to 33 cents, and of the latter from $5.65 to $6.64 per arroba.
During the fiscal year 1902-3, 10,097,925 pounds of honey, valued at
$379,998.60, were exported, and 1,599,743 pounds of wax, valued
at $444,448.
Honey is shipped to Germany, the United States, France, and other
countries. The amount gathered this year exceeds $600,000 in value.
About 80 per cent of the wax exported is shipped to Germany, the
rest to the United States, France, and other countries; the total
annual value is about $500,000.
CHAPTER IX.
COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION— TARIFF AND CUSTOMS LAWS.
The external commerce of Cuba was for ncariv three centuries con-
fined to the mother country, Spain, and trade with other European
countries was permitted only in the latter part of the eighteenth cen-
tury. Preferential duties were established so strongly in favor of
Spain that she continued to furnish most of the imports up to the time
of Cuban independence, while for many years past the United States
took most of Cuba's exports, the trade balance against the great
Republic in its relations with Cuba for the past fifty years being about
$1,500,000,000. During the years 181)2-1894, when reciprocal trade
relations existed between Cuba and the United States, the latter coun-
try furnished about the same percentage of imports as^ Spain. The
imports and exports of Cuba in 1894, the last year of reciprocal trade
relations with the United States, were as follows:

COMMERCE OF CUBA DURING THE ADMINISTRATION BY UNITED STATES
MILITARY GOVERNMENT, JANUARY 1, 1899, TO APRIL 30, 1902.
The total value of merchandise, exclusive of gold and silver, imported
into Cuba during American occupation, was $225,437,135, of which 74
per cent was received at the port of Habana; Cienfuegos with 9 per
cent, and Santiago with 8 per cent are respectively far in the lead of
any of the remaining ports.
In shipment of exports Habana leads with 59 per cent of the total
value; Cienfuegos, Cardenas, and Matanzas together having 25 per
cent to their credit, while each of the remaining ports falls far short
of either of the above namefl. The exports for this period, exclusive
of gold and silver, amounted in the aggregate to $180,609,067, being
nearly $45,000,000 less than the importation. Much of this difference
is attributable to the destruction of property and damage to agricul-
tural industries occasioned by war.
Of the imports the United States furnished 43 per cent, United
Kingdom 15, Spain 15, France 4i, and German}' 4 per cent; the im-
portations from all Europe were 41 per cent of the whole amount,
nearly equaling the United States. In the matter of exports the com-
pamtive ratios are quite different, the United States taking 75 percent,
United Kingdom 9, Germany 7, France, 2^, Spain 2 per cent; all
Europe receiving but 22 per cent, which consisted principally of
tobacco and cigars, sponges, honey, hides, textile fibers, wax, and rum;
practically all of the sugar exported went to the United States.
The balance of tmde between Cuba and the United States during
American occupation was decidedly in favor of the former, although
not to so great an extent as in previous years. During this period
Cuba, while importing from all countries §45,000,000 worth more than
she sold, yet exported more than $37,000,000 worth to the United
States in excess of her purchases from the latter. It is to be noted,
however, that the ratio of imports from the United Stiites is materially
greater than it was during the Spanish regime.
More than 69 per cent of Cuban exports during American control
consisted of agricultural products, and 47 per cent of imports consisted
of food and animals. Breadstuffs and other provisions, horses and
mules in large quantities were brought from the United States, while
cattle were procured from Mexico, Central America, and South
America. It is reasonable to suppose that there will be a gradual
diminution of the importation of live stock.
During the time of American control on the island tiie year 1901
presents the fairest view of its commerce for any one year of said
period, and in showing comparative data this year is in consequence
frequently referred to.
The comparison of the volume of trade shows that the imports for
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 137
the calendar year 1901, which amounted to ^6,583,973, were $75,000
less than for the preceding period, and $200,0(X) less than for 1899,
while the exports for 1901, amounting to $63,278,380, exceeded those
of 1900 by $14,300,000, and of those of 1899 by $18,200,000, the
imports showing but little change, and the exports rapidly increasing.
The decrease in imports affected chief!}' the United States, United
Kingdom, France, and Spain, Germany making gains. The importa-
tions from South America, consisting for the most part of food prod-
ucts and animals, were largely increased in 1901. The gain in exports
to the United States in 1901 over 1900 was approximately $15,000,000,
from which it appears that there was a decrease of about $500,000 in
value of exports to other countries in 1901 as compared with 1900.
Receipts of corn from the United States are assuming considerable
magnitude, the values for 1899, 1900, and 1901 being in round num-
bers $560,000, $607,000, and $880,000, respectively. For each of these
years more than $2,0(M),000 worth of wheat flour was imported from
the United States. The purchiuse of bituminous coal from the United
States in 1901 amounted to $1,124,532.
The trade in cotton goods with the United States is increasing but
is yet comparatively very small, amounting to but 8 per cent of the
total importations of tliese goods in 1901. The amount imported in this
3'ear exceeded six millions of dollars, of which the United Kingdom
sent more than 53 per cent. The importations for 1899 and 1900
aggregated $6,237,330 and $6,116,068, respectively, the United States
supplying 21 per cent in 181>9 and 7 per cent in 1900, while the United
Kingdom furnished 35 pev cent and 49 per cent, respectively, for
these years.
More than $200,000 worth of cement was imported in 1901. During
the occupation by the United States there was imported iron and steel
and their linished forms, exclusive of agricultural implements, to the
value of more than $15,500,000, of which the United States supplied
more than $12,000,000, or 77 per cent of the whole.
The United States also furnished nearly three-fourths of all agricul-
tural machinery, amounting to $1,037,714, imported by Cuba during
the same period.
Out of a total valuation of $306,924 for clocks and watches, 31 i>er
cent was imjx)rted from the United States.
Of copper and its finished forms the United States supplied 64
per cent.
The importations of starch have decreased from 6,408,819 pounds,
valued at $190,375, in 1899, to 4,292,282 pounds, valued at $113,837,
in 1900, and 704,614 pounds, valued at $25,904, in 1901. In these years
the United States exported 47, 24, and 16 per cent of the respective
values; United Kingdom 21 per cent and 53 per cent for 1899 and 1900,
respectively, with none whatever reported in 1901. The steady
decrease is attributed to Wal manufactures.
138 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
The importations of oils of all kinds during the period of American
occupation aggregated in value $5,318,718, olive oil being in the lead
with $2,885,400 worth, and of this commodity Spain sent more than
97 per cent. Cnide^etroleum, other natural oils, naphtha and illumi-
nating oils amounted to $1,830,670, of which less than $13,000 came
from other countries than the United States. Of the $206,582 worth
of animal oils the United States furnished more than $176,000, and of
vegetable oils other than olive oil more than 34 per cent.
During this period more than half a million dollars worth of patent
and proprietary medicines were received, about 44 per cent of these
articles coming from the United States.
Thirty per cent of the $2,446,544 worth of stone, earthen, china,
and glass ware received during the same period came from the United
States.
The importation of boots, shoes, and sandals amounted to more than
$6,800,000, of which Spain sold 73 per cent and the United States
26 per cent. The importations of 1901 amounted to $1,684,572, of
which 72 per cent was from Spain and nearly 28 per cent from the
United States. It will be perceived that this trade of more than
$1,500,000 per annum is divided between Spain and the United States,
in the ratio of nearlv 3 to 1.
Spain leads in shipments of paper and its manufactures, furnishing
Cuba 35 per cent of the total of nearly $3,000,000 for the period of
American occupation, the United States being second with about 28
per cent.
Importations of provisions, including meat and dairy products,
during United States occupancy, amounted in value to more than
$29,000,000, more than W per cent of which was imported from the
United States, the remainder being widely distributed; Uruguay and
Argentina (whose shipments consisted almost entirely of jerked beef),
with 17 per cent of the total, being the next largest exporters. Quite
a large amount of dairy products came from Spain, Denmark, United
Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Spain enjoys almost a monopoly of
the sales of candles and soap, supplying 88 per cent out of about
$800,000 worth of the former, and $500,000, or approximately 90 per
cent, of the soap imjwrted into Cuba during 1901. Spain also supplies
more than half the candy and confectionery which is imported.
France furnished nearly 72 per cent of distilled liquors during the
year 1901, the United States less than 5 per cent.
Cuba imports annually more than $2,500,000 worth of vegetables,
about half of which (excepting onions and canned goods from Spain)
come from the United States. For 1901 the importations of wine
amounted to more than $1,700,000, of which Spain sent 98 per cent.
The United States has a good showing in exports of wood and its
iDAnufactures to Cuba, though in one article — that of hogsheads and
barrels — Spain is a cJose second.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 139
From climatic reasons Cuba is not expected to be a heavy purchaser
of wool and woolen goods, yet in 1901 she expended the considerable
sum of $610,000 in this way, of which the United Kingdom supplied
more than one-half, while the United States is credited with less than
4 per cent.
Of the remaining $7,000,000 worth of exports in 1901, unmanu-
factured wood constituted, in round numbers, $1,200,000; molasses,
$1,200,000; fruits and nuts, $1,000,000; iron and manganese ore,
$900,000, and sponges, $480,000. Hides of cattle, distilled spirits,
and honey were also items of impoilance in a lesser degree.
More than $560,000 worth of bananas were shipped in 1901, as
compared with less than $115,000 in 1899, and $250,000 worth of
pineapples in 1901, as compared with approximately $50,000 in 1899.
CARRYING TRADE.
Imparts. — Including gold and silver, the total importations into
Cuba for the calendar year 1901 reached the sum of $67,753,108, the
following ratios of per cent showing the distribution by vessels;
American, 32; British, 8; French, 2; German, 5; Norwegian, 16;
all other, including domestic, 37.
Included in ^' all other'' is the amount carried under the Spanish
flag, of which separate account was not recorded prior to July 1, 1901.
For the six months ending December 31, 1901, imports arriving in
Spanish bottoms aggregated more than $9,377,000; estimating this to
be one-half of ^he year's business for Spain, it will appear that the
Spanish vessels should be credited with about 28 per cent of the
import carrying trade, and that American, Spanish, and Norwegian
vessels delivered more than three-fourths of the importiitions.
The imports from the United States, aggrogjiting $28,470,000, were
delivered by vessels carrying the following flags: American, 57 per
cent; British, 6; German, 1; Norwegian, 22, and all other, 14 per
cent.
Exports, — Exports, including gold and silver, during the year 1901
aggregated $60,502,169, carried in vessels flying the following flags:
American, 51 per cent; British, 16; French, 4; German, 3; Norwe-
gian, 17, and all other, including domestic, 9 per cent.
Cuba exported to the United States in 1901 commodities, including
gold and silver, to the amount of $50,015,954, which was conveyed in
the following bottoms: American, 45 percent; British, 21; German,
3; Norwegian, 22, and all other, including domestic, 9 per cent.
The value of imports into Cuba from all countries other than the
United States, in 1901, was $39,282,842, of which amount $5,893,226,
or 15 per cent, came in American vessels.
The value of exports for the same period to countries other than
the United States was $16,486,215, of which $11,564,733, or 70 per
cent, was carried in American vessels.
140 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
COMMERCE DURING THE YEAR 1902.
The imports of 1902 were $4,448,536 less than those of 1901, and the
exports of 1902 exceeded the imports by $2,813,340.
The exports of sugar and tobacco during 1899 to 1902 amounted to
nearly 90 per cent of the total exports of the island. The value of the
sugar exported from 1899 to 1902, inclusive, amounted to $99,932,600;
of tobacco, to $97,904,200, of which $47,890,700 was for leaf tobacco
and $50,013,500 for cigars, cigarettes, and cut tobacco, thus making a
total for sugar and tobacco for the four years of $197,836,800. Dur-
ing the same period other exports amounted to $23,743,300, divided
as follows:
Agricultural products and rural industries $14, 076, 100
Mineral products ( iron, manganese, and asphalt) 3^ 909, 300
Fisheries (sponges, tortoise shell, etc. ) 1 , 929, 300
Other articles, reexported articles, and gold and silver 3, 829, 600
While sugar and tobacco to-day represent the wealth of the island,
prior to 1830 coffee was its principal source of wealth, yielding as
much as 100.000,000 pounds annually, worth $18,000,000.
MINOR PRODUCTS.
An analysis of the minor products of Cuba exported during the
period referred to (four years) is of interest.
Under the heading '' fruits " the sum of $801,200 is stated as exported
in 1899, while in 1902 the figures under the same heading are stated as
$1,906,600, divided as follows:
Bananas 1621, 000
Pineapples 451,300
Cocoanuts 189,500
Oranges and lemons 3, 500
Agua(»tes and mangoes 9, 800
Cacao 552,400
Coffee 1,300
Onions, tomatoes, beans, etc 78, 300
The pineapple crop of 1903 is valued at $1,500,000 and the orange
and lemon crops will also show a great increase this year, and from now
on, as large numbers of trees planted during the past three years are
now bearing fruit.
Forest products exported in 1899 were valued at $1,059,900, and in
1902 at $1,87:1,800, viz:
Woods (mahogany and cedar, principally) $1, 428, 600
Textile fibers : 880,900
Dyes 65,300
Skins, horns, and hoofs of animals show a total of $463,800 exported
in 1902, as compared with $310,200 in 1901.
Honey was exported to the amount of $308,100 in 1902, against
$189, 'job in 1901.
BANDBOOK OF O0BA.
141
Wax was exported to the amount of $373,300 in 1902, compared
with $370,500 in the previous year.
Id 1899 the total value of the products exported, other than sugar
and tobacco, was $2,413,600, or 5.1 per cent of the whole; in 1903
the total was $4,926,600, or 7.6 per cent of the whole.

As we see, the collections in Habana represent nearly three-fourths

The expenses of the customs service have been quite uniform,
amounting to $956,738 for the whole itnland in 1902; that is, 6^ per
cent for collection. An they amount to $595,926 for Habana, and
$360,71*2 for the rest of the island, the proportion of expenses is 5.3
and 8,15 per cent, respectively.

142 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
The total amount of the commerce was $145,564,085, which compared
with 1902 gave an increase of $18,479,000. The total of exportations,
calculating the present population of the Republic as 1,750,000, gives
an exportation of $45 per capita, the same as Argentina, one of the
richest nations of America.
Cuba's exports of agricultural products are preeminent, aggregating
95 per cent of the entire output.
Of the $77,261,000 exported (excluding coin) during 1903, raw sugar
amounted to $40,400,000 (52.4 per cent of the total), $10,460,000 more
than the previous year. Adding to this sum $1,490,000, amount of
the exportation of other products derived from the manufacture of
sugar (molasses, alcohol, etc.), and we have a total of $41,940,000,
value of the export of national products that depend on the cultiva-
tion of sugar cane — more than double that of 1899 (in which year
there were only exported of this class of products $19,300,000) and
$11,000,000 more than in 1902.
The value of the tobacco exported represents 33 per cent of th^
exports of this year and amounts to $26,042,000, against $25,400,000
in 1902. The increase is due to the exportation of leaf tobacco,
$600,000 greater than the preceding year.
These figures show that sugar constitutes more than half, tobacco a
third, and both products together make 87 per cent of Cuba's exports.
The exportation of other national products is increasing ever}" day,
offering new bases for the greater stability of hor economic life,
dependent until now only on the value in foreign markets of the two
exportable, almost exclusive products, sugar and tobacco.
In 1899 the value of exports other than sugar and tobacco was
$4,780,000, whereas in 1903 it amounted to $9,300,000 (13 per cent of
the total value). Of this sum about $3,000,000 are fruits and garden
truck, against $1,900,000 in 1902 and only $800,000 in 1899; $2,250,000
are forestry products and natural crops, against $1,870,000 the pre-
vious year, and more than $1,000,000 are products derived from i-ais-
ing animals. The products of apiculture amounted to $760,000, three
times more than in 1899. All together $6,350,000 of agricultural
products, besides sugar, tobacco, and derived products (9 per cent of
the total exports), and $1,400,000 more than in 1902. Summing up
the value of agricultural and those industrial products which get their
raw material from the national agriculture (sugar and products derived
from it, tobacco and its manufactures, fruits, garden truck, minor prod-
ucts, and products of raising animals), the result is $74,300,000; that
is to say, 95 per cent of the total. In the face of these data there is
not the slightest doubt that the country is eminently agricultural, and
that on this industry depends her wealth and her economic future.
The remaining 5 per cent amounts to some $3,000,000, and consists of
mineral products, $1,690,000: fishery products, $480,000, and other
miwportant articles.

COmiBBCB IN 1904.
On December 27, 1903, a reciprocity treaty was concluded with the
United States in the terma hereafter expressed. On February 2,
1905, the United States Bureau of Statistics published the following
statement in regard to the trade of the United States with Cuba under
the new tariff:
The lipjrte of the United iStatea Government, showing its total imports from and
exporta toeach country of the world, Hhow that the imt>orts from Cuba in the calendar
year IflW under the reciprocity 'treaty were $74,!l50,9it2 in value, against $57,228,291
i^n 1903. This indicati^ an increase of practiAlIy (1K,000,00(), or :{1 per cent. Dur-
ing that same period our total iinports from the West IndicH, including Cuba, but
excluding Porto Rico from consideration, grew from |74,K90,690 in 1903 to $R9,5«1,026
in I9(H, an increase of but 314,500.000, or 20 per cent Thus the entire -increase in
our imports from the West ladies occurred in the trade with Cuba, the imports
from the other West Imlia Islands showing in practically every cai* a decrease tm
compared with the preceiling year. The total impi>rtfi into the United Stales in
1«M were $l,03-i,S0ft. li»7, against $91M>, 494,327 in 1903, an increase of P40,000,000,
or but 4 per cent. Thus the imporla from Cuba inireased 31 per i-ent while the
imports from othersections of the West Indies were decreasing, and the total imports
into the United States from all countries were increasing but 4 per cent.
Turning to the export side the tigitres of the United States Government ehow total
exports to Cube in the calendar year 1904 valued al $32,tH4.:Mo, against $23,.t04,417
in 1903, an increase of $9,130,928, or 38.9 jter cent. The total exports to all parts of
the world in 19(M were $1,451,3^,645. against $1,484,753,083 in 1903, a decreaw of
(33.397,438, or 2.3 per cent in the grand total exports, while lo Cuba alone, as above
indic«te<l, the increase Is prairtically 40 ]ier cent.
The table which follows sIkiws the total imports from and exports to Cuba in each

The imports from Cuba in 1904 were less in value than those of the calendar years
1894 and 1892 and of the fln'a] yeam 1874 and 1873. Summiiriiing in a single sen-
tence the figures of our export trade to Cuki in 1904, it may be imid that it is larger
than in any preceding year, and that Ihe increase over 1903 was 38. f \*'t cent, while
the increase in imports from C'ulia in the same year was 31 per cent.

HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
of the preceding year, the Bureau of Statistics publishes a table received from official
sources in Cuba showing the imports and exports of Cuba by principal countries
during the first six months of the calendar years 1903 and 1904. These figures, it is
proper to add, include gold and silver as well as merchandise, while those of the
United States above discussed relate to merchandise only. The table shows that
Cuba's total importations from the United States, including gold and silver, in the
first six months of 1904 were $15,416,503, against $13,696,673 in the corresponding
period of 1903, and that her exports to the United States in the first half of 1904
were $53,109,619, against $36,046,328 in the corresponding months of 1903.
The figunis of Cuba's trade with other countries are also given, and show in prac-
tically all cases a larger percentage of increase in imports from those countries than of
imports from the United States. From the Unite<l Kingdom, for example, the
increase in imports is 34.5 per cent; from Spain, 23.8 per cent; from France, 48.4
per cent; and from Germany, 39.9 per cent; while from the United States the
increase is but 12.8 per cent. Thus in the case of each of the countries named th4
percentage of increase in imports during the first six months of 1904 was greater than
that in imports from the United States. Comparing the imports during the ^ret
half of 1964 with those of the corresponding i)eriod of 1903, Cuba increased her
imports from all countries 22.8 per cent, her imp<jrts^ from countries other than the
I'nited States, 30.3 i)er cent, and her imports from the United States alone, 12.6 per
cent. In the first half of 1903 the United States supplied, according to these figures,
42 per cent of the total imports of Cuba, and in the corresponding period of 1904 39
per cent.
The exports from Cuba to the United States during the first six months of 1904
were $53,109,619, against $36,046,328 in the corresponding months of 1903, an increase
of 47.3 per cent. The exports from Culm to all countries increased from $44,120,812
in the first six months of 1903 to $60,033,227 in the corresponding i)eriod of 1904, a
growth of 36.1 per cent, while to countries other than the United States Cuba's
exports fell from $8,074,484 in the first half of 1903 to $(5,923,608 in the corresponding
months of 1904, a decrease of 14.2 \>er cent.
The table which follows shown the trade of Cuba with the principal countries of
the world during the firnt six months of 1904 compared with the corresponding
months of 1903, the figures lx»ing those of the Cuban (government, but including
gold and silver with merchandise.

The United States Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce
and La))or, in August, 1905, furnished preliminary figures of the
foreign commerce of Cuba for the calendar yoAxv 1904, which shovv
substantial increase in trade lelatlons with the island Republic. As
tl\e reciprocity agreement with the United States went into effect
December 27, 1903, the figures give some idea of the relative position
of American commerce with Cuba in comparison with that of the
principal competing European countries as affected by the preferential
tariff treatment accorded American products.
The United States furnished 42.5 per cent of the total merchandise
imports during the calendar year 1904, as against 40.5 per cent during
the previous year. The United Kingdom, our most serious compi^titor,
furnished 16.4 per cent, a.^ against 17 ])er cent in 1903. Spain's share
bas fallen from 14.3 to 12.^) per cent, while (rermany's and France's
relative shares have risen inconsidenibly, though the absolute figures
of imports from all these countries show substantial gains during the
most recent calendar year.
The following table shows the value of the imports into Cuba from
the principal countries during the caleiubir years 1903 and 1904:

EXPORTS TO PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES.
The importance of the United States as the principal outlet for
Cuban staples is even more pronounced than its leading position in the
Cuban import market. Moreover, the large gains, both relative and
absolute, made by Cuban exports to the United States during the last
year have reduced the shares in the export trade taken by the leading
European countries. Thus, while the exports to the United States
grew from 160,100,000 in 1903 to $74,500,000 in 1904, or from 77.7
per cent to 83.7 per cent of the total exports, the share of the United
Kingdom has fallen from 16,600,000 to $5,900,000 in 1904; that of
Germany has fallen from $5,400,000 to $4,000,000; that of Spain
from $1,300,000 to $731,000, and that of France from $1,100,000 to
$1,000,000. The following table shows the value of the exports from
Cuba to the principal countries during the last two calendar yeai's:

AMERICAN INDUSTRIES HENEFITED.
An analysis of the import figures by articles discloses the fact that
the gain in imports from this country has been distributed in a fairly
equable manner, benefiting thus a large number of American interests
represented in the Cuban market. Thus, the imports of cotton goods
show a gain of over S7 percent — from $453,^00 in 1903 to $848,500 in
1904 — although it should be said that even aftei* such an increase th^
relative share of the United States in the total foreign supply of cot-
tons does not exceed 10.4 per cent, as against 54 p(U* cent supplied by
the United Kingdom and iS.Tper cent })y Spain. Almost one-half of
tii(* manufactures of iron and steel is now being furnished by the United
States, the gain in 1904 of about half a million dollars being far in
excess of gains made by pther countries during the same period.
BOOTS, SHOES, AND MAC^HINERY.
In boots and shoes the share of the United States has risen from 37
per cent in 1903 to 40.3 per cent in 1904, the value of Americiin shoes
imported in 1904 being Si, 202,200, a.s against $854,300 in 1903.
Spanish lx)ots and shoes, which as late as 1900 supplied almost 80 per
cent of the total demand for the foreign article, constituted 61.3 per
r-p/i/ of the total shoe imports in 1903 and 5SJ] per cent in 1904. The
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 151
change of taste and habits illustiuted by these figures is. after all, the
product of slow growth, and no sudden changes in the import figures
could be expected.
The total import figures of machinery, exclusive of machinery for
sugar mills and distilleries, show a larger relative growth than those
credited to the United States, notwithstanding the 20 per cent differ-
ential in favor of the American article. The progress made by Ameri-
can machinery for use in sugar mills and distilleries is more satisfactory,
the import figures for 11K)4 showing substantial gains over those for
1903, and the relative share in the total imports for 1904 being 73.2
per cent, as against 06.7 per cent during the preceding year.
Considerable gains are sliown in the imports of paper and paper
manufactures. Out of $1,304,200 worth of these articles imported in
1903, the sliare supplied by the United States was $319,800, while in
1904 the imports from all countries amounted to $1,367,000, of which
the United States supplied $428,200, or 31.3 per cent. The imports
of manufactures of wool and textile fibers from this countrv are still
inconsiderable, Cuba drawing upon Europe for these articles. The
imports of manufactured linen, jute, and other fibers have fallen off
considerably during the last year, while the imports of wool manufac-
tures show a slight increase.
(JROWTH IN FOOn STUFFS.
The improvement in the economic condition of Cuba is attested b}'^
the growth of imports of food stuffs from $21,800,0(K) in 1903 to about
$25,000,000 in 1904. Practically all the flour, corn, and lard had been
coming from the United States even prior to reciprocity, and naturally
continues to do so now under reciprocity. Of these three articles of
popular diet, the imports of flour have increased from $2,085,000 to
$2,970,000; corn from $606,600 to $898,000, while lard decreased from
$2,885,000 in 1903 to $2,617,800 in 1904.
It is but proper to add that the Cuban dut>' on American flour,
$1 per 220 pounds })efore reciprocit}', was reduced to 70 cents by the
reciprocity agreement, and then increased to 91 cents by act of the
Cuban Congress of Fe})ruary 5, 1904, mising the general rate on
the article. The rate on American corn was likewise reduced from
30 cents per 220 pounds to 21 cents, and then increased to 27.3 cents
while the rate on American lard was lowered at first from $2.80 per
100 kilograms to $2.24 by a 20 per cent reduction according to the
reciprocity agreement, and then raised to $2.91 through an increase of
the general rate by 30 per cent by the act of Februar}- 9, 11H>4.
The 20 per cent differential in favor of American-grown coffee has
!>enefited the Porto Rican product, the imports of which into Cuba
have increased from $2<17,4O0 to $711,4(X), constituting 38.4 jK^r cent
of the 1904 coffee imports, as against 18.6 per cent only of the impor
for the pi'oceding year.

SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS.
The following information has been collected largely from Messrs.
Molina Brothers, custom-house brokers, of Habana.
All goods arriving in the island of Cuba, whether dutiable or not,
must be entered in the custom-house of the port of arrival. The entry
is made on a prescribed form, which is accompanied by the invoice or
bill of sale, and the bill of lading issued by the carrying company.
Both the bill of lading and the invoice must be in exact accordance
with the goods they cover.
Great care should be exercised in making invoices to conform to the
customs regulations, for if they are not properly prepared the entry
is delayed, heavy fines are imposed (if not confiscation), and the mer-
chant is at a loss to know what the goods are going to cost him and
besides risks losing sales on account of late delivery. Several
instances are known of merchants ordering from Europe, simply
because European manufacturers compl}' with their instructions and
present invoices properly made, thereby insuring the dispatch of tiieir
goods within the specified time of eight days after arrival. The cus-
toms regulations of this country are identical with those of the United
States, and intending shippers should consult them or employ experts
in export trade in order to have invoices properly made.
The invoices must be made in quadruplicate, on good, durable paper,
with ink, and nmst give the value of each article they cover, its gross
and net weight, a description of package (if it is case, barrel, bundle,
crate, etc.), and its gross and net weight. If packages are marked and
numbered it should be so stated on invoice; all vague terms, such as
fittings, machmery, supplies, should be avoided. Everything should
be clearly described. On invoices covering textiles it is absolutely
necessary to state whether they are cotton, linen, wool, or silk. On
invoices of such goods as hosiery, the net weight of the pasteboard
boxes, the weight of the wooden box, and the total weight of all, must
be stated. Other requirements for various classes of goods are given
below. In brief, goods should be so clearly and definitely described
on the invoice that one can readily learn the number of packages, their
marks and numbers, gross and net weight, and exact contents, quality,
value, etc., without the necessity of opening or seeing the packages.
The expenses incurred, if any, .such as packing and boxes or cartage,
should be stated, but not the steamer freight from the shipping port.
If there are no charges the fact should be indicated by the letters
"f. o. b.'' The invoices should state whether goods are products of
the United States of America, and must ))e signed in ink by the firm.
In case the shipper is a company or corporation, the title of the signer
should be given (for example, American Paper Company, by John
Smith, secretary). No initials will he accepted. Invoices must be
clean and free from enisures and (corrections.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 158
These four invoices are presented to the Cuban consul, who will
certify and return two of them to the shipper. The two returned to
the shipper are then sent to consignee, with the bill of lading, by the
same steamer that conveys the merchandise. The bill of lading should
give clearly the number gf packages, gross weight only, and their
mark and number, in full conformit}' with the invoice, and should
state to whom they are consigned. If the bill of lading is to ''order"
it must be indorsed by the shipper, otherwise the custom-house will
not deliver the goods.
Herewith appears a pro forma invoice, showing how it should be
made if several articles are put in one package. It must be described
as '*1 box, barrel, etc., of sundries," gross weight must be given, and
each article it contains must be described, somewhat as follows:

The following tables give the figures of Cul)an commerce with the
principal foreign countries for the calendar years ISIU and 1895 and
the calendar j-ears 1900 to 1904, inclusive, as well as the imports, by
countries, into ('uba during 1900-1904 of the principal articles of
manufactures and food stuffs. As the reciprocity agreement with the
United States went into effect December 27, 1903, these figures,
especially those for the calendar years 1903 and 1904, give some idea
of the effect of preferential tariff treatment on the trade of Cuba with
this countrv and with the rest of the world. The voars 1894 and 1895,
})V reason of the large sugar crops, are regarded as ''Cuba's years of
plenty." The year 1895 marks the beginning of the last war for
Cuban independence.
The figures for the vears 1894 and 1895, as w^ell as those for the vears
ll»0O-1903, inclusive, are based upon the published trade returns of
the Cuban Government, while the figures for the calendar year 1904

are provisional data received from the statistical office of the Cuban
treasurj'^ department. Figures for the calendar year 1900 are taken
from the Monthly Summary of the Island of Cuba, as compiled by
the Division of Insular Affaii;s, United States War Department.
Owing to the difference of classification followed by the Division of
Insular Affairs, the figures for 1900 are not exacth' comparable with
those published by the statistical office of the Cuban treasury depart-
ment for later years, though in most cases the single items are the
same. All the figures given show the movement of merchandise
proper, exclusive of specie.

CUSTOMS TARIFF.
PREFATORY NOTE.
During the tempoitiry goveimment of Cuba by the United States
authorities a customs tariff was arranged and put into operation, to
take the place of the previous Spanish-Cuban tariff of 1897. This
United States-Cuban tariff was first promulgated by President McKin-
ley on December 13, 1898, and in 1899 various changes and improve-
ments were wrought in the document, so that in its perfected form it
was finally promulgated by the same authority on March 31, 1900, and
went into force on June 15, 1900.
On resuming full control of their Republic in May, 1902, the Cubans
decided to continue the tariff of 1900 in force, and it is still the tariff
law of Cuba. Various modifications and changes as to certain details,
however, have been made from time to time by the customs authori-
ties, all of which modifications are indicated in the footnotes in the
text of the tariff as published in the following pages.
In December, 1903, the new' reciprocity convention between the
United States and Cuba went into effect. By the terms of this instru-
ment certain tariff rebates are granted by each of the two nations to
the other.
In January, 1904, the Cuban Congress authorized and provided for
a general increase in the tariff rates, amounting to from 15 to 30 per
cent. President Pahna, of Cuba, accordingly issued a proclamation
on February 1, 1904, decreeing the several increases, as specified in
the new law to go into effect on February 5, 1904. The changes are
very numerous, and affect nearly all of the paragraphs of the tariff
existing at the date named. The increases are at the mtes of 15, 20,
25, and 30 per cent.
The following compilation presents (1) the old tariff rates, accord-
ing to the Cuban tariff of 1900; (2) the present rates, according to the
increases effective February 5, 1904; and (8) the present mtes to the
United States, as modified by the reciprocity convention.
For convenient reference, two explanator}^ circulars of the Cuban
secretar}' of treasury and a list of the numbers of the paragraphs
and subdivisions of paragraphs affected by the tariff- rate increases
are also included in the compilation.

174 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
CIRCUIARS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT OF CUBA RELATING TO
RECIPROCITY CONVENTION.
[Translation.]
The following circulars explain the Cuban interpretation and admin-
istration of the reciprocity convention with the United States:
Extract from, Circular Wo. 177 of December 19, 1903.
Treaty will take effect beginning with the 27th instant (December,
1903).
Invoices of goods imported must have added to the declaration now
made by manufacturer or producer in the United States, in which he
states that the prices and other particulars of the invoice are exact,
"that the articles contained in said invoice are products of the soil or
industry of the United States." The treaty must be enforced to the
letter, and cases of doubt arising must be immediately reported to this
Department, which will give preferential attention thereto. For
general information, to the end that doubt may be avoided as far as
possible, some of the clauses of the treaty having already been sub-
ject of inquiry, the following remarks are made:
It will be observed that all of group 5 of schedule 1, assessing
crystal and glass ware, enjoys in virtue of article 4, in Schedule A,
adv'antage of 25 per cent. Tariff No. 12 (J) of said group classifies
window glass or other articles. This window glass is excepted from
said 25 per cent advantage, and enjoys instead 30 per cent, being
included in Schedule B of said article. In this tariff number it should
be understood that onl}^ window glass enjoys 30 per cent advantage;
other glass than window glass, classided together with window glass,
enjo3's only the general 25 per cent of group 5 of schedule 1, and
importers should be made to take oath that it is for windows. Under
Schedule C of said article 4 ])orcelains enjoy 40 per cent advantage.
Articles of this material are specially classified under tariff number
23, but porcelain articles classified 24 also enjoy the 40 per cent
advantage. All other articles comprised under tariff number 24 enjoy
the 20 per cent advantage of article 3 of treaty.
Groups 2 and 3 of schedule 2, classifying cast iron, wrought iron, and
steel, enjoy 25 per cent fixed })v Schedule A of article 4, excepting
cutlery, which enjoys the 30 percent advantage granted in Schedule B*
of the same article.
All the articles included in schedule 4 of the tariff, cotton and man-
ufactures thereof, whi(?h are specially mentioned, enjoy the 30 per
cent advantage granted by Schedule B of article 4 of the treaty, with
the single exception of knitted goods classified under tariff num*ber
122 in letters ^/, h, <% and d, which enjoy the 40 per cent advantage
granted by Schedule C of the said article.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 175

GENERAL RULES.
1. Niimher of threads, — By the number of threads in a tissue shall,
unless otherwise stipulated, be meant one-half of all the threads com-
prised in the warp and weft in a square of 6 millimeters. Should this
«The warp of tissues is to be considered as the totality of the threads which lie in
the longitudinal sense, whether they form the foundation of the same or whether
they have been addtH^i in order to form patterns or to give the stuff more Ixxiy. The
weft shall Ije considered the totality of the threads which cross the warp of the tissue
and combine the same conditions of helping to form patterns or to add to the body
of the stuff.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 177
half contain a fraction, the fraction shall be counted as an entire
thread.
2. Ascertainment of the nunthcr of threads, — In order to determine,
for customs treatment of tissues, the number of threads and the pro-
portion in which the threads subject to the highest duty are found in the
tissue, the instrument known as 'thread counter" shall be employed.
Should there be doubt as to the jtscertainment of the number of
threads in a tissue, owing to the tissue b^ng closer woven in some
parts than in others, the closest-woven part and the loosest- woven part
shall be taken, and the average threads resulting from the two shall
serve as a basis for levying duty.
When the nature of the tissue permits it, the thread shall always be
counted on the obverse side of the stuff.
In all woolly or melton-like tissues, and generally in all tissues in
which the hair has been removed by carding or fulling, the threads
shall be counted on the reverse side of the stuff by rasping or burning
the hair when necessary.
In exceptional cases, where after these operations the ascertainment
of the number of threads remains doubtful, a sufficient part of the
tissue must be unraveled.
Should this likewise be impossible, as, for instance, in case of ready-
made articles, the tissue shall be subject to the highest duty of the
group to which it belongs; and should the tissue be mixed, it shall be
dutiable according to the class in which the highest-Uixed material
entering into the mixture is comprised.
CUSTOMS TREATMENT OF MIXED TISSUES.
3. Admixtures of tied inateriah, — Tissues of all kinds composed of
two materials shall be dutiable as follows:
(a) Cotton tissues containing threads of hemp, jute, linen, ramie, or
other vegetable fiber shall be dutiable according to the corresponding
numbers of group 2, Class IV, with the surtaxes established in each
case,^ provided that the number of these threads of hemp, jute, linen,
ramie, or other vegetable filwrs, counted in the warp and weft, does
not exceed one-fifth of the total number of threads composing the tissue.
When the number of threads of hemp, jute, linen, ramie, etc., ex-
ceeds one-fifth of the total, the tissues shall be subject to the corre-
sponding duties of Class V.
(J) Cotton tissues containing threads of wool, flock wool, hair, or
wastes of these materials shall l^e dutiable according to the correspond-
ing numbers of group 2, Class IV, with the surtiixes established in each
case,* provided that the number of threads of wool, flock wool, hair,

CHAPTER X.
MONEY, BANKS, AND BANKING.
MOIfEY.
Cuba has no currency of its own coinage. The official money of the
Republic is United States currency, and all taxes and public debts are
payable in the same, except fees of registers of property, which are
collected in Spanish gold. In commercial circles (wholesale) Spanish
gold is the basis of calculation, and in the retail trade and in the
country Spanish silver is almost entirely used.
United States currency is always at a premium over Spanish gold,
but this premium fluctuates according to the market demand for
Spanish gold and silver. During the year ending June 30, 1904, the
American dollar was on an average equivalent to $1.09 Spanish gold
or $1.38 Spanish silver, the fluctuation being from $1.10J to $1.08i in
gold, and from $1.42 to $1.35 in silver.
The legal monetary system of Cuba is patterned after that of Spain.
The centen or 25-peseta piece is of gold, and has an avei*age value
of $4.90 American mone}^, The silver coins are the peso, peseta, dos
pesetas, real, and medio, occupying the same relative position as the
American dollar, dime, and nickel. The dos pesetas is a silver coin
valued at 2 pesetas, for which there is no correspondent in the American
coinage. The peseta is the fifth of a peso.
The following table will show in a more comprehensible manner the
different coins in circulation in Cuba and their value in American
money :

BANKS AND BANKING.
The banking facilities existing in Cuba at the present time are
inadequate. Under the tenure of Spain no effort was made to afford
the Cubans an opportunity to bank their savings, nor were the usual
channels found in other countries for the distribution of money given
attention.
On July 21, 1898, immediately following the occupation of Santiago
by the American troops, the President of the United States appointed
the North American Trust Company, of New York, fiscal agent of the
United States, and it continued to act as such until July 18, 1901,
when the assets and business were transferred to the Banco Nacional
de Cuba.
This bank was organized with a paid-up capital of $1,000,000
United States currency. It purchased part of the assets of the North
American Trust Company, and liquidated the company^s business in
Cuba.
The bank has branches established at Santiago de Cuba, Matanzas,
Cienfuegos, Cardenas, Manzanillo, Sagua la Grande, and Pinar del
Rio, and correspondents at every other important point in the island.
The two principal conditions from which the financial situation in
Cuba suffered were, first, scarcity of money in circulation; and, second,
the lack of banking facilities outside the city of Habana, the conse-
quent immobility of capital, and the difficulty of transferring money
and credit from one point to another.
The bank sought to meet these conditions by establishing its branches
at the points mentioned, through which the Government makes its
deposits and disbursements for the several localities, and which
encourage local deposits, which are available for local loans. In this
way exchange operations have been facilitated, giving mobility to
282 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
capital and aflfording opportunities for individual and company deposits
in the bank, instead of keeping specie hoarded in safes as theretofore.
The bank has a saving department, which serves to bring money
into circulation, in addition to the bank's capital.
Local loans are made and used for the development of business in
each section. The surplus of one section is transmitted for loans in
other sections where there is a demand for money. This prevents the
money from being concentrated in Habana and gives facilities for the
development of the several sections of the island instead of one par-
ticular section. T^e bank has correspondents all over the world, and
does the principal part of the exchange business with China.
The bank's capital of $1,000,000 is divided into 10,000 shares of the
par value of $100 each. United States currency. This stock is held
principally in the United States, although a large amount is held in
Cuba.
J. P. Morgan & Co. are the bank's correspondents in New York.
ROYAL BANK OF CANADA.
The agency of the Royal Bank of Canada (head office at Halifax,
Nova Scotia), established in Habana in 1899, has rapidly gained the
confidence of the community, and is now ranked among the most
important banking concerns doing business in the Island. This insti-
tution, which is well and favorably known in the United States and
Canada, has more than forty branches in those countries, including
one in New York City, which gives it exceptional facilities for the
handling of transactions between that city and Habana. The bank
also has correspondents in the principal cities of Europe and in the
East, among whom may be named the Bank of Scotland, the Credit
Lj-onnais, the Deutsche Bank, and the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank-
ing Corporation.
This concern has recently bought out the "Banco del Comercio'^
business and is the Government's agent for the payment of the army
of liberation.
It has branches in Santiago de Cuba and Camaguey.
THE SPANISH BANK.
This institution, known as the '" Banco Espanol de la Isia de Cuba"
(Spanish Bank of the Island of Cuba), is a stock company, and was
incorporated on April 9, 185^), with a capital stock of $8,000,000, now
divided into 80,000 shares of the par value of $100 each. It has a
reserve fund of $456,000. During the Spanish sovereignty it enjo3'ed
the support of the (jovernment, with which it negotiated many large
transactions.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 288
COLONIAL LOAN AND DEPOSIT ASSOCIATION, OF BUFFALO, N. Y.
This association has an authorized capital of $20,000,000, and has
for its object the bringing together of those people who have money
to invest and those who want to borrow; to furnish a safe and profit-
able system for investing money in both large and small sums in a
manner which will assist and encourage saving. Stock in this associa-
tion is divided into shares of $100 each.
In addition to the regular banks there are several private firms,
whose business is principally that of loaning money on securities.
Among these may be mentioned the banking houses of Zaldo & Co.^
L. Ruiz, H. Upraann & Co., and N. Gelats & Co., all of Habana.
Recently a law has been proposed for the creation of national Imnks,
which, it is thought, will be of great help in increasing the financial
and economic development of the island.
CHAPTER XL
FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION— REVENUES, DEBT, ETa
DEBIT.
On the 20th of May, 1902, at the tiiue of the inauguration of the
Republic, there existed in the treasury a surplus of $635,170.29, which
shows that Cuba, which before the American intervention was under the
weight of heavy colonial debts, entered the life of a free nation free
from incumbrances, owing to the generous help she received from the
great American Republic, and with more than $500,000 of ready
money, which she could employ in the many works and duties of a
newly born country which entertains ideas of progress and prosperity.
This favorable condition of the Cuban treasury has been steadily
growing better, as shown in the following table:

July, 1904 7,099,584.86
June, 1905 8,657,922.49
The receipts for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1905, were $61,751,-
095.72, of which $25,944,322.60 were from public revenues, and
$35,806,773.12 from special accounts, of which $31,677,336.53 were
the product of the loan for the payment of the Cuban army, there
remaining a surplus of $4,129,416.59 of the said special accounts.
In the year 1904-5 the custon house rojeipts yielded $23,168,845,
or $4,848,942 more than the previou year, this being due to a
great extent to the increased commerce. The exportations reached
$101,000,077, the importations $93,015,000, from which should be
deducted the $31,677,000 from the loan, leaving a trade balance in
favor of Cuba of about $40,000,000.
The total taxes received for the year were $29,258,599, or $6,736,838
more than the previous year.
The special taxes devoted to the payment of the interest and sinking
fund of the said loan amounted to $3,576,865.90, or twice as much as
WBs needed to meet this disbui-sement, which added to the balance of
$1,042,460.04 on July 1, 1904, gave a total of $4,619,335.94 This
234

splendid result moved the Government to buy in a million of the bonds
in the market, for which it paid $1,062,500, thus reducing the capital
of the loan and $50,000 annual interest.
During the year payments were made to the amount of $44,510,373. 38,
of which $17,286,400. 11 were for the regular budget and $23,066,688.36
for paying the army claims, leaving $8,610,648.17 to the credit of the
latter.
The total receipts for the yearwere$61,751,095.72plus$7,099,584.86

suflfering some deductions for outstanding credits, left about $22,000,000

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES.
The revenues of the island are classitied as receipts from customs,
internal revenue, postal and telegraph receipts, and consular fees.

provided for in the law of February 25, 1904. There is therefore a
surplus of $311,938.
Second. That the annual expenses shall be fixed at $15,396,991.25

The only debts of the Republic of Cuba are:
First. The Cuban bonds of 1896 and 1897, recognized by the law of
January 22, 1904, amounting to $2,196,585. They bear interest at the
rate of 6 per cent per annum, and are due ten years after the evacua-
tion of the Spanish troops — that is, in 1909. The back interest was
paid in 1904, and since then regularly in October and April.
Second. The loan for the payment of the Cuban revolutionary armj',
amounting to $35,000,000.
LOAN FOR TH£ PAYMENT OF THE ARMY.
In the first message addressed by the President of the Republic to
Congress, on March 26, 1902, the executive recognized the obligation
contracted by the Government of the revolution with the army, and
deplored that it was not in his power at that time to fulfill an obliga-
tion so sacred as was that of rewarding the services of those who had
fought for their country's freedom.
In August of the same year a committee was appointed to revise
and examine the lists of said army, the work being continued by
another committee appointed in May, 1903. Subsequently, by the
law of July 24 of the same year, the obligation to pay the soldiers of
the army and the civil officers and employees of the revolution was
accepted as a legitimate debt of the Republic and a new committee
appointed to act on the claims presented and to decide on all the ques-
tions that might come up as the result of the settlements made.
During the two months fixed as the period for its labors, this last-
named committee has allowed 7,561 claims, and has still to dispose of
10,364, as also a large number presented after the expiration of the
legal term alU^wed for tiling same.
288 HAI7DBOOK OF OUBA.
The President having been authorized by the law of February 27,
1903, with the modifications contained in the law of January 25, 1904,
to negotiate a loan of $35,000,000 United States currency, said law
at the same time determining the form of taxation required to provide
the funds for paying the interest and amortization of the principal of
the debt, the necessary eflForts were made in foreign markets for the
purpose of carrying out this financial operation.
The President of the Republic, in his message of November 19,
1903, gave an account of the steps that had been taken for the purpose
of obtaining said loan and at the same time recommended a modifica-
tion of several articles of the law of February 27, 1903, which modifi-
cations were made by the law of January 25, 1904.
Of the proposals received from different bankei*s, that of Messrs.
Speyer & Co., of New York, was accepted, and the preliminary
agreement was signed on the 11th of February of the present year.
The conditions of the contract are as follows: Security, 15 per cent
of the revenue from customs duties, as provided for in the law of
January 25, 1904; rate of issue, 90 per cent; interest, 5 per cent per
annum; date of loan, March 1, 1904; redemption of loan to begin
March 1, 1910.
The interest and principal of the loan will be paid out of the taxes
fixed by the law of February 27, 1903, with the modifications pro-
vided for in the law of January 25, 1904, as stated in the provisional
agreement and in the law approving the budgets of the Republic^ of
January 26, 1904.
On May 11, 1904, the final contract was signed at Habana and the
$35,000,000 was paid to the Government in the installments specified.

CHAPTER XII.
MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.
•
mXERIOR COMMUNICATION.
Cuba was tho .second country in America to oix^ratc a steam road,
being in this direction eleven years in advance of the mother country,
Spain.
The first Culmn railroad was opened to traffic on November 19,
1S37. It was built under the auspices of the Junta de fomento de
la Ilabana (improvement board of Habana) and was known as the
Caminos de Ilierro de la Habana (Railroads of Habana).
This road had an extension of about 45 miles, communicating the
capital with the town of Guines, and is at present a part of the sj'^stem
of the United liailwavs of Habana.
Four years later it was sold by the Government to a corporation,
and this fact served to encourage others.
The spirit of enterprise being thus stimulated, the first sections of
the principal lines now in operation were soon constructed, and these
furnished outlets for agricultural products to the most important ports
of the island.
In the year 181>8 the principal railroads of Cuba were the following:
Kilometern.
United Rail wavn of Habana 377. 89
Weflteni Railway of Habana 176.99
Marianao and Habana Railway 14. 48
Matanzaa Railways 289.62
United Railways of Cardenas and Jucaro 337. 89
Sagu^ la (vrande Railway 157. 68
Cienfu^;os and Villaclara Railway llO. 36
Caibarien Railway 90.10
Total 1,505.01
The following milroads also existed : Tunas to Sancti Spiritus, San-
tiago de Cuba, Guantanamo, and (libara to Holguin, with a length
varying from 32 to 77 kilometers, and the military road from Jucaro
to Moron, which was also oi)ened to the public.
In addition to the al)ove there were many private railroads, which
bad been constructed in the twenty years previous, to connect the
243
244 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
plantations with the trunk lines, and although the length of these
roads seldom exceeded 5 or 6 kilometers, the aggregated mileage was
considerable and represented an important percentage of the total.
At the close of the Spanish-American war the Habana Electric
Railway Company (incorporated in the United States) acquired, by
purchase, the concession granted many 3-ears before to the Compania
del FeiTocarril Urbano }• Omnibus de la Habana, for the operation of
street railwa}'^ lines in the capital city.
The Compania del Ferrocarril Urbano y Omnibus de la Habana had
limited its effort** to the establishment of five lines of street cars,
drawn by animal tmction, but as soon as the Habana Electric Railway
Company took charge of the enterprise a complete and efficient elec-
tric-car system was introduced. New lines were constructed, modern
vehicles imported, and when other improvements contemplated by the
company are completed Habana will possess as good a system of
public conveyances as could be desired. The aggregate mileage of
these lines when completed will be 3,648.22 miles of single track.
The cost of the improvements has been estimated at $4,233,786. The
gross receipts of the company for the year ending. June 30, 1904, was
$1,161,295, United States currency.
The length of the trunk lines and branches of public railroads on
June 30, 1903, was as follows:
Kilometeni.

SubscMiuently and up to the present writing .sonic 40 kilometers of
road have been opened to the public. Of these, 33 kilometers are
owned by the Eastern liailroad C/ompany and 7 by the Insular Rail-
road Company. It ran therefore h{\ said that the total railroad mile-
age of Cuba aggregates 2,412 kilometers.
The 541 kilometers belonging to the Cuba company's road repre-
sent an increase of 85 percent, and this is a demonstration of the pro-
gress made in this direction by CXiba during the four years she has
been free from European domination.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 246
The completion of the central line of railroad, which bj^ connections
with other lines communicates Habana with Santiago de Cuba, marks
the realization of a long- felt commercial want and the (attainment of a
political end of the greatest importance.
To Sir William Van Home, president of the Cuba company, and
the builder of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, the Republic is indebted
for .this great accomplishment.
Said Mr. Robert B. Porter, special commissioner appointed by
President McKinley in 18})8 to visit the island and investigate and
report on her industrial, conunercial, and financial conditions, in
dealing with the question of railroads —
No revolution could havt> existed in (>\iba if Huch a railroad had been completed b^
the former Government, and nothing? will ho rapidly tend to the revival of commerce
and general businenH an the facility for quick pannage from one end of the island to
the other, and from the trunk line over branches to the 8eal)oard cities. All political
turbulence will bt»quiettHl thereby and prevente<i in the future. The entire country
will be opened to commence, lands now prac^tically of no value and unproductive
will be worked, the seapi^)rt townH will iKH^mie active, and commerce between the
island and the Unite<l States will noon l>e restoreci to the former figures.
In mileage, the Cuba Railroad Comjmn}^ is the greatest in operation
in the island, its lines extending from Santa Clara to San Luis, a dis-
tance of 321 miles, at which point it connects with the Santiago Rail-
road, running to Santiago de Cuba, a distance of 38 miles, and which
is under control of the Cuba Company.
The work of construction of a branch line to Sancti Spiritus (a dis-
tance of 11 kilometers) has just been completed. The Cuba Railroad
is also building a bninch line (49 kilometers in extension) from Alto
Cedro to Nipe Bay, at which place it coimects with the main line.
The beneficial influence the Cuba Company's roads are called to
exercise on the agricultural development of certain sections of the
country is grent. There are in Puerto Princiixj alone hundreds of
thousands of acres of virgin land of unsur{)assed richness, which will,
when properly cultivated, make of that Province one of the most
important sugar-producing centers of the island.
The existence of this ••back]>one railway,'" as it is aptl}- termed,
with its feeders to the noilh and south coasts, will further enable the
marketing of many millions of feet of valuable woods, such as mahog-
any, cedar, majagua, and others, which could not be previoitsly gotten
out at a profit.
The promoters of this company contemplated the building of a city
on Nipe l^y, which they hoped to make one of the most important in
Cuba, and also the establishment of colonies, sugar plantations, steam-
ship lines from Nipe to New. York and other ports in the t^nited States,
and the erection of modern hotels at Habana and in cities on their
line.
Owing to circumstances of the moment these projects have had to
246 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
\>e temporarily dela^'ed, but it is to be hoped, and there is every rea8on
to believe, that they have not been a})andoned.
The aggregate mileage of this road, including its many branch lines,
will be, when completed, approximately 1,000 miles.
For over half a century a system of this kind had been talked of by
foreign capitalists; but it was not until Sir William Van Home formed
the Cuba Company, which is an American corporation, that this great
agency for developing the interior resources of the island was provided.
The difficulties in construction arose from the inabilitv to secure a
governmental f mnchise. The outright purchase of a private right of
way consequently l^ecame necessary.
For a time a working force of 6,000 men was employed, and at cer-
tiiin portions of the route the line was carried forward at considerably
more than a mile a day.
The tracks are of standard gauge, the bridges of steel and masonry,
and the equipment of the entire road is thoroughly modern.
Owing to the rapidity with which this road was built and to the lack
of proper ballasting in many sections of the line, trains did not run
at night for a time, passengers being compelled to lay over at SfCnfS
Clara and Camaguey. Under these (circumstances the trip from
Habana to Santiago de Cuba oi»cupied three days.
But this condition does not exist any longer. The run being now
a continuous one, tmiiis leave Santiago de Cuba for Ha])ana everv
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and arrive in that city from Habana
every Tiu\sday, Thursday, and Saturday. All these trains carry mail
and passengers. The passenger rate is: First class, $:^4; second class,
*IL>.
The tniins have been etjuipped with sleeping cars, mostly built in
the Tiiited States, and these are provided with cane seats, necessjuv
owing to the climate, and with all other modern appurtenances.
Next in iiniH)rtance to this ceiitnil line, and the second >vstem in
length in the island, is the Tnited Railways of Habana (an English
corpomtion) with a mileage of o77.SJ» kilometer^.
One of the several lines operated by this ci)!iipany extends from
Habana ti> lijitabano, a ilistance of alumt IM) miles, tuid runs throu**^!!
a well-cultivntt^d country, devoted to tlu» niisingof tobacco, vegetables,
anil suiiiir cane.
Hatalwino is a \xn*t on the south coast of the island and the center
of the sponge industry of I'uba.
Another line ])ranches otf from the alnn e at Kincon and runs west,
ihrounh a rich toUicco country, to (nianajay, a city of 7.i.>oo inhab-
itantN, distant *>;> miles from Habana, with which it i> also connected
by a splendid and well-kept macadam road.
There is still ant>ther line running from San Felijv (on the Hal)ana-
iiiitaUmo line) to the city of Guine>, which ha- a population of over
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 247
8,000 inhabitants and is the center of a well-cultivated district, mainly
dedicated to the raising of rice, potatoes, and other vegetables. This
line extends to the town of Union de Reyes, where connection is
made with the Matanzas Railroad line.
The terminal of the United Railways of Habana system is at Regla,
a town just across the bay from Habana. Its principal line extends
from this point, through the Province of Matanzas, to Jovellanos, a
town of about 5,000 inhabitants, on the line of the Cardenas and
Jucaro Railroad, distant 88i miles from Habana.
The Western Railway of Habana, another English corporation, com-
municates the capital city with the town of Pinar del Rio, capital of
the Province of that name, and it extends through the famous tobacco
region of Vuelta Abajo, where the most renowned plantations of this
kind in the world are located.
The city of Pinar del Rio has a population of 9,000 inhabitants and
is 109i miles from Habana.
The road, after running through a good sugar and tobacco country,
in the Province of Halnma, enters the Province of Pinar del Rio, where
it passes through a number of intennediate towns of some importance.
This compan}' have a concession to extend their line to Guanes, and
have just opened to traffic a branch line running between Pinar del
Rio and San Luis, a distjince of about 18 miles, and have just com-
pleted the extension between San Luis and San Juan y Martinez, a
distance of about 10 miles.
The Marianao Railroad (also an English corporation) is a suburban
road, extending from Habana to the city of Marianao, and thence to
the beach of that name, a celebrated bathing resort, 9 miles from
Ha}>ana.
The Matanzas Railroad (a Spanish-Cuban corporation) has its ter-
minal at the city of Matanzas, and runs south and east through a rich
cano-growing district, to Cumana3'agua, a town on the Cardenas and
Jucaro Railroad, distant 85 miles from Matanzas. It also oj>erates a
line from Montalvo, through a sugar-cane growing district, to Murga,
on the south coast, a distance of 29 miles.
The Matanzas Railroad also owns several small branch lines con-
necting the most important sugjir plantations in that Province with
the trunk line of the compjiny, which facilitates the marketing of
many thousjinds of tons of sugar.
The Cardenas and Jucaro Railroad (a Cuban corporation) was organ-
ized in 1857 and has a capital stoc-k of §8,(HM).000, held in Culm and
Spain, princii^alh' in Cuba. This company- has no bonded debt and is
in a very prospi^rous condition.
The mileage of the road is 206, and it is about to build a small
extension to the city of Cienfuegos, on the southern coast of the
of Santa Clara.
248 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
This company operates four lines, which traverse one of the richest
sugar-growing sections of the island, its two main lines extending
f roul the city of Cardenas, on the north, to Santo Domingo, and from
Cardenas to Yaguaramas.
As in the case of the Matanzas Raih*oad, the trunk line of this
company is connected by small branch lines with the plantations.
The Cuban Central Railways, Limited (an English corporation),
chartered in 1899, operates five lines, the principal two extending
from Cienfuegos to Santa Clara, capital of the Province of the same
name, and from Isabela de Sagua to Las Cruces, passing through the
town of Sagua la Grande. Its many line branches connect some of
the principal towns in the Province of Santa Clara and extend through
the greater portion of the most impoi*tant sugar-producing region
of the island.
The aggregate mileage of its lines is 186 miles.
The Jucaro-San Fernando Railroad, commonly known as the '* Jucaro-
Moron" line, which was built by the Spaniaitls as a military road,
extending along the '' Jucaro-Moron trocha," was formerly lined with
small forts and blockhouses intended to prevent the crossing of the
Cuban revolutionists between the Provinces of Camaguey and Santa
Clara. It extends from Jucaro, a port in the southwestern part of
the Province of Camaguey, to Estero, 40 miles distant, on the north
coast, 4: miles north of the town of Moron.
This road is at present leased to a private corporation and connects
with the Cuba Railroad, which it intersects at Ciego de Avila.
The Puerto Principe and Nuevitas Railroad, in operation since 1851,
communicates the city of Nuevitas, a seaport on the north coast of
the Province of Camaguey, with the city of Camaguey, capital of the
Province, distant 40 miles.
The company is a close corporation, its capital of $1,000,000 being
held by eight shareholders. Their last published report for the fiscal
year ending June 30, liH)0, showed earnings of $292,442.42, with
operating expenses of $191,120.38. The conipanv ha.s no bonded debt
and the stock is owned by residents of Puerto Principe.
The line intersects the Cuba Railroad at Camaguey.
The Tunas and Sancti Spiritus Railroad, extending from the port of
Tunas de Zaza, in the southern part of the Province of Santa Clara, to
the city of Sancti Spiritus, a distance of 24^ miles, is a private corpora-
tion belonging to the Del Valle family.
The (libara and Holguin Railroad runs from the port of Gibara, on
the northwestern coast of the Province of Orionb^ to the city of
Holguin, a distance of 20 miles.
It was opened to traffic in 1885, and its last published report in
1900 showed earnings of about $2,000.
The Santiago Railroad extends from the city of Santiago de Cuba,
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 249
capital of the Province, to San Luis. It covers a distance of 26 miles,
and owns a branch line, 7 miles in extension.
This niilroad is now controlled by the Culwi Compjinv and is the
southeastern terminus of its svsteni.
The Guantanamo Railroad extends from Caimanera, the seaport of
the city of Guantanamo, through this city to the town of Jamaica, a
distance of 19 miles, and also operates a small branch line 34 miles in
extension.
This line, which was opened to tmfBc in January, 1858, runs through
a rich sugar-producing country.
Its principal stockholders are a famil}'^ of Santiago de Cuba.
The Insular Railway Company (an American corporation) has just
built an electric car line from Habana to Marianao. This line, when
completed, will run as far as Maricl, distant about 84 miles.
The Insular Railway Companj' has also a concession to construct
two more lines from Ilabana to two other cities in the Province. This
company has leased the omnibus line operating throughout the city of
Habana and along many of the suburban roads.
The Cuba Eastern Riiilroad (also an American corpomtion) is actively
prosei^uting work on its line from the Ba}*^ of Guant^inamo, through a
sugar-producing countiy, to a large tract of hard woods, 48 miles
distant.
This company also proposes the extension of its line to the Bay of
Nipe, and the building of another line to Baracoa.
This latter will prove of the greatest imi)ortance, as Baracoa is the
most important cocoanut and banana region in the island, having an
extensive tnide with the United States.
The public milways of Cuba cost, with their equipment, about
$65,000,000, and their gross earnings, act^ording to last Government
n»port, published in the early i>art of 1901, prior to the completion of
the Cuba Railroad, were *5,8(M>,0(H>, net earnings ]mng $2,120,000.
Three of the most important railroads of Culwi are owned b}' British
capitalists. These three roads represent a capitalization of $31,500,000
out of a total, in 1900, of about $53,000,000.
The military government of intervention, desiring to obviate the
exclusive and independent system that up to that time each company
had adopted, caused a complete investigation to b(» made in the prem-
ises and, after mature examination, published, through Order No. 34,
series of 1902, a new railroad law, which, supplemented by Order
No. 117, sjime series, tended to e(|ualize matters appertaining to the
existing railroad companies, esi^ecially with n^ference to that part
relating to the tariffs of same, whi<*h was the main object of the second
or supplementary order.
Among the reforms thereby established there is one that has helped
in a large measure to normalize and hamionize the working of the
250 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
companies among themselves in their relations with the Government
and the public in general, which reform consists in the creation of a
mi I road comhiission, composed of the secretary of public works as
chairman, the secretary of agriculture, industry, and commerce, and
the secretary of finance, as commissioners, and a secretary to the board;
which commission is charged with the affairs relating to the manage-
ment of railroad companies in matters appertaining to the aforesaid
relations.
Messrs. Mosele}" and Decker, of the United States Interstate Com-
merce Commission, addressed the following interesting letter to the
Secretary of War of the United States, on March 24, 1902, which fully
explains the provisions of the new law:
Interstate Commerce Commission, Office of the Secretary,
Washington, March ^4j 1902,
To the honorable the Secretary of War,
Washington^ D. C.
Sir: At the recjuest of General Wood, we went to Cuba to assist in the revision of
the railway lawn of that island. With a desire to aid the Government in ev^y
lK>ssible way this was willingly done without coini>ensation other than our actual
expenses. Upon onr arrival (leneral Wood, the mihtary governor, was emphatic in
his desire that the law should \w revised in such manner that full protection would
l)e given to the public, the shipi>er, and other patrons of the road, and yet no undue
hardship imposc«l u|Mjn the railway (jorporatioii, >aiid also that the employees of the
railroads should be rc("Ognized to the extent that regulations governing their emj[doy-
inent should l>e sul)ject to reviwion and approval l)y the board of railroad commis-
HJoners only after the railroad employees or their rei)re8entatives had had full
opportunity to be heard. With this end in view the railway law of Cuba, as put in
force February 22, 1902, was drafted, a< stated in the order of the military governor,
for the purpose of harmonizing, consolidating, unifying, and reforming the j>rovisions
of law in force in the island as to the organization, administration, operation, and
dissohiti«)n of railway (companies.
It was esjx^cially necessary to reform the methods of railway organization or
incorporations, the registnition of titles, and j)rocee(ling8 in condenmation of pniperty
for railway use, as well as the laws applicable to railway construction, oj>eration,
and regulation. Under the old statutes all railroa<l mattcis were transacted through
the department under the control of the secretary of public works. Under the
present statutes these matters are under the juris<liction (»f three ollicials — the se<-re-
taries of j»u])lic works, of linance, and of agriculture, commerce, and imUistry — the
board being known as the railroad commission.
In regard to regulation, some of the former requirements are understood to have
iH'cn too stringent. At any rate, in their construetion by the public otiicials and
the courts antl in their application they had l>een adjusU^l to an order of things
which piissed away with Spanish sovereignty. The railway situation in general
demanded a new system of railway law, modeled as nearly as may be after tlie
modern railway statutes and railway usages of other countries, including those of
the United States, Kngland, and (^anada. The re.«ult is that Cuba now has a railway
law well a«lapted to its requirements and well calculatetl to promote the commercial
progress of which it stands in such grea^ need. It is not understo<^l that anv
franchises or c(mces.sions are grante<l by the new law, and in framing the statute the
aim htus l>een to pnji)erly safeguard the interests of capital represente<l in new
Iway enterprises as well as to establish a plain, effective, and just system of railway
nlation.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 251
The railway companies are required to publish their maximum tariffs of rates, but
they are not compelled to publish the actual rates Inflow the maximum tariff charges
which they may put in force. A requirement to publibh the actual rates was not
inserted in the law, for the reason that the conditions in Cuba were not ljelieve<l to *
warrant such a provision at this time. One main consideration in this respect was
that the sugar traflic is transported largely by the railroads under special contracts
with the planters, covering the working of numerous private lines ui)on antl from
the plantations, and connecting with the lines of the public carriers, and also c»on-
taining provisions applicable to particular sections served by the several carriers. A
measure of publicity, however, is provided, in that, under the law, it is the <luty of
every railroad company to furnisli the commission with copies of their contracts,
and to make known to every p(»rson u|X)n demand any special rates, rebate, draw-
Ixack, or ccmcession given to anyone. The commission may give publicity to such
information or contracts if in it^ judgment the public interests require it and the
welfare of the railroad comjmnies would not Ik* thereby injuriously affecte<l. While
it might well be said that a rt^^iuirement in the statute for the publication of the
actual rates would not prevent adjustment of the rat«s awording to conditions in
different localities, the aim of such a provision is always to insure ol)8ervance of the
published tariff for the time it may \ye in force, and to that extent, if no other, it
would prevent concessions to the planters and establish a reversal of present c(mdi-
tions which might injure the sugar industry, rndoubtally such a requin*ment will
sooner or later lye necessary, but it was not deemed wis<.< to insist upon it at this time.
With that single extreption the regulation provided in the railway law of Cul)a is
l)elieved to l)e the l)est that has yet Ikh'u devised in any country.
As the law was tii^t <lrafttHl the maximum tariffs ami freight chiHsilicAtion, after
having l>een approver! by the commission, could not l)e change<l under two years,
and altliough discrimination as l)etween localities and different ship|)ers under the
same cin-umntances was i)rohibited no means were provider! in the law for re<iressing
wrongs due to unreasonable ratvs, undue preferences, or unju.st discrininations.
Plainly there wouhl not l>e, with the law in tliat state, any prote<'tion to the public
for wrongs resulting from the application of actual rates impose<l by the railroad
companies. This was cnrcHi ])y the insertion of a pr.>vision that, notwithstanding
the establishment of maximum tariffs of rates and the classitication of freights, *Mt
shall lie unlawful for any raiiroa<l 4'om]>any to charge or enforce any unreasonable
or unjust toll, nite, or classilicaticm of a particular kind of freight, or to make or give
any undue or unn*asonai>le preference or advantage to any {)erson, firm, com|>any,
corporation, locality, or any particular description of trailic, or tosubjin-t any jM'rs«»n,
firm, comjmny, corporation, locality, or any jwirticular descriptitm of traffic to any
un<Iue or unrtnis<jnable prejudice or disadvantage in any re8i>ect whatso«»ver; and
whenever, n\nm complaint thererif by any interestiMl party, the railroad commission
shall, after due hearing of all parties, of which not li*ss than ti^n days* notice shall
l)i> given, find any such unlawful toll, rate, classifi(*ation of a |>articular kind of
freight, preference, or prejudice* to exist, such commission shall have authority to
onlcr its discontinuiuice and to substitute in such onler the rate, toll, cla«)sifi cation,
or practi<'e which shall n\Hm the facts appear to Ihj just and rea»*onable.'*
It is further ]>n)vided in the law in this c<mue<*tion that an appeal may Ih> taken
fnim such onler of the commission to the supreme court sitting as a court of admin-
istration, in the siune manner and to the same effec*t as is )»n)vided for api>eals fnmi
all other orders of the i-ommia^ion, and that the onler of the connnission shall n(»t
in any case l)e binding ii\k)1\ the railroad comfmny for a longer {x^riod tlian six
months from the time it shall go into effect; but such onler, limitinl in application to
six months, may l)e reissutnl from time to time by the railroad commission for goo<l
cause shown u|)on further complaint and due hearing, subject to the same right of
appeal. This is in the line of protection to the railroads, as is alao a farther proviaioa
252 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
that in all Huch cai^e^ due weight shall be given by the railroad commission to the
fair interests of the railway company, aa well as to those of the public and affected
HhipjjerH and comnmnitieH. It is further provided that whenever wronf^ful prejudices
or dipadvantagen shall appear to resjult from comimrison of rates or tolls charged by
one or more railroad companies the railroad commi»<sion shall have authority to
order an increase of the lower rate or a reduction of the higher rate, or both such
increase and re<luction, as the circumstances and conditions and fair interests of the
parties may re<iuire. In all cases decided ]>y the commission against a railroad com-
pany upon complaint the decision of the commission is to be wmsidered as a decision
of tlie (Tovernment, and such decision must >)e defended and maintained by the
supreme court sitting as a court of administration, without expense to the party who
complained before the commission. This law is not only comprehensive in scope,
but minute in spetufication. There is regulation of railway employees as well as
railway companies, and the employees are entitled to \ye heard personally or by their
representatives ]>efore the commission in all matters affecting their rights in the
establishment and approval of the working class of railway companies. Stringent
provisions are also provided for the application of improved safety appliances to
railway equipment and for the reporting and investigation of all accidents, induding
those to passengers and employees.
Under the provisions of this law a uniform classification has been prepared and
pronmlgated by the military' governor, and a set of rules of practice before the rail-
road commission similar to those of the Interstate Commerce Commission has also
been put in force. With the submission of maximum tariffs by the railway compa-
nies and the revision and approval of such tariffs by public authority, as required by
the law now in forcv, it is confidently believed that Cuba will have a complete and
thoroughly satisfactory system of railway organization, supervision, and regulation.
Your obedient servants,

HIGHWAYS.
•
In this bmnch there has been crreat progress made in Cuba since
the advent of the Kepu])lican regime inaugurated an era of prosperity,
encouraging the spirit of enterprise of the people.
The American intervention government devoted much attention to
the building of roads and to the improvement of those already built.
Their worthy initiative has been followed by the Cubans, and the
result has )ieen a complete and most wonderful change for the blotter
in the highwavs of the island.
Cuba, which in tlie year 189i), at the time of the withdrawal of the
•Spanish Government, only possessed )ii^>6 kilometers of highway (188 in
the Provinceof llabanaand llSin Pinardel Kio), had on June 80, 1908,
more than 891* kilometers, which means that in the period of only four
years the (rovcrnment has coiistruct(^d highways in the proj)ortion of
more than 50 per cent as compared with the time previous to the inde-
pendence of the country. The Provinces of Matunzas, Santa Clara,
Camaguey, and Oriente, which were destitute of highways during the
Spnnit^h domination, count to-day with sevenil miles of well-constructed
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 253
roads, and those already existing in the provinces of Habana and
Pinar del Rio have been greatly improved.
The following table gives a complete mileage of the highways now
existing in the six Provinces: •

POSTAL SERVICE.
Among the manj^ reforms introdnccd by the American military
government during the period of intervention and subsequently per-
fectioned b}' the Cuban authorities, none perhaps are so complete as
those of the postal service of the island.
The ancient and inadetjuutc system in existence during the Spanish
administration has lieen nidically reformed, and Cuba to-day possesses
a modem and efficient postal system, similar in many respects to that
of the United States.
One of the first innovations introduced bj- the American Govern-
ment was the establishment of two important bmnches, hitherto
unknown in the country, namely, the money order and parcels post
departments.
Post-offices were also established at those points where they had
been destroyed by the war; others were reorganized and the necessary
personnel appointed. The transportation service was also improved;
new routes and offices were established and the service perfected until
it was left on a self-supporting basis, ready to l>e transferred to the
Government of the Republic.
From that time the Cuban Goverimient has followed in the lines
laid down by its predecessors, and at the present time there is daily
commun illation by mail from Pinar del Rio to Santiago de Culm.
The number of- |)Ost-offices in ojieration in Cuba on June 30, 1904,
was 3«7.

On April 30, 1905, the total amount covered by postal routes within
the territory of the Republic was 3,808,376 kilometers, which gives
still an increase over May 20, 1904.
Following is a list of the steamship lines now carrying the Cuban
mail:
Plant Liiie, — Between Habana and Tampa, Fla., three times a week.
Ward Line. — Direct steamers between Habana and New York,
twice a week; between Habana and Veracruz, once a week; between
Habana, Santiago de Cuba, and New York, twice a month.
Munaon Lme. — Irregular service between Cuban ports and the
United States.
Spanish TranH'Atlanti<^ Line, — Between Habana and Spanish ports,
once a month; between Habana and Veracruz, once a month; between
Habana and South American ports, once a month; between Habana
and New York, twice a month.
French Trans- Atlantic Line, — Between Habana, Santander (Spain),
and St. Nazaire (France), once a month; between Habana and Vera-
cruz (Mexico), once a month.
Hamhurg- American Line {Grrma7\), — Between Habana and Vera-
cruz, once a month.
SobrinoH De Herrera Lint, (atubsidized Cuban comj)^ini/), — Between
Cuban ports and Haiti and Puerto Rico, once a month.
EXPENSES.
The total expenses of the department of posts of Cuba during the
fiscal year of 1902-3 amounted to the sum of $41(>,351.(>4, and the
total receipts, including jv3J)2,388.37 for the sale of stamps, amounted
to $420,173.77, which le^ives a balance of $3,822.13 in favor of the
treasury.
It is worth}' of sjiecial notice that at the time of the advent of the
('uban republican regime there existed a deficit in the department of
posts, which, after great eiforts and economy, wa.s reduced to $44,803.33
during the fiscal j-ear of 1901-2. One year later, as it has been shown,
this deficit had not only disappeared, but the department was in pros-
perous financial condition, leaving a surplus in favor of the treasury.

CHAPTER XIII
INMIGRATION.
LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
Iminigmtion is one of the most necessary elements' for the induntrial
development of Cuba. President Palma in a recent message said:
All the pecuniary sacrifices which the Government might make daring a pericx] of
years under a well-studied plan to promote and assure immigration by families wonld
be very productive to the nation and of great influence for the country, both socially
and morally. This matter is, therefore, one that by notorious importance deserves
immediate action so as to commence its realization without loss of time.
A law is l)eing framed in accordance with these views, and very soon
this matter will receive the attention which it deserves when the fact
is considered that the population of the island does not reach 1,700,000
and it is able to bear 12,000,000. The following quotation from Mr.
Victor Clark as to the labor conditions of Cuba in 1902 are pertinent to
the question:
The real labor sujjply^of Cuba, therefore, is inadequate to the nee<l8 of the island.
It does not i)ermit the exploitation of resources already in sight; much less does it
afford a social motive for developing new industries. The intelligent people of the
island appreciate this condition. They have trietl to remedy it by encouraging the
importation of labor from abroad. Now that their national aspirations appear to be
realized, they desire that this labor shall Ik* coinpone^l, so far as possible, of perma-
nent settlers, who will become identified with Cuban sentiments and interests ami
raise the prevailing standard of intelligence and (ntizenship.
Tradition and both social and economic ties point to Spain to supply this demand.
During the three years ending December 31, 1901, the total immigration into Cul>a
was 69,420, of whom 54,410 were Spaniards, 1,92(5 were Chinese, and 13,084 came from
other countries. Ninety-eight per cent of the third-class immigrants are said to be
Spaniards. During the year 1901 the passengers of this class entering the island
numbered 16,091. This immigration, however, does not represent an equal increase
in the permanent population of Cuba, for many ( ialiciansand Canary Islanders come
over each year for the harvest seasc^n and return to Spain as soon as the crop is
gathered. Their passage both ways costs alx)Ut $40, and their net savings from a
season's work are in general slightly more than this sum. These workmen find
employment principally in the tol>acco districts.

Statistics for the year 1901 show that 22,894 immigrants entered the island, of
whom 17,330 were Spaniards, 756 Chinese, 781 Porto Ricana, and 650 Americans.
Among these there were 10,556 laborers, 2,374 mechanics, and 1,468 farmers. Of
the Spaniards alone, 14,808 were males and 2,522 females, 12,477 were not married,
6,363 were illiterate, and 5,577 had been in Cuba before; 10,336 had ea^'h less than
$30 in their possession ui>on entering the island.
Of the Spanish immigrants, the Galicians are the most numerous and, as a rule,
find employment as common laborers. Next in number are the Asturians, who
usually enter clerical service. Mont of the Canary Islanders become field laborers
an<l small renters, though some find their way into mercantile pursuits. The Cata-
lans generally are skilled workmen and engage in mechanical employments.
About two-thinls of the total j^nmigration is absorbed by the rural districts, and
nearly 30 per c*ent remains in Ilabana. Many of the latter class come to take posi-
tions already aHsured them by family connections or because of business relations
existing between commercial houses in Habana and Spain. Besides lalxtr going to
the mining districts, several thousan<l immigrants have found employment in east-
em Cuba during the pa«t year upi>n the construction crews of the Central Railway.
There is an official bureau of immigration at Habana which receives, inspects, and
quarantines all third-class immigrants. Those who come to the island for the first
time are given \xmn\ and lodging by the Government for 20 cents a day until they
find employment. Employers are required to give security that they will furnish
necessary me<lical attendance an<l (»rt» to employees received through the bureau, so
that in case of illness the latter may not again become a charge upon the public
authoritit»s. Sjjecial care is also taken of minors. The general jmlicy of the Govern-
ment is to encourage and facilitate white immigration, es{)ecially of families and those
likely to remain as pennanent residents of the island.
Immigration usually enters Culm at Haliana, and several causes have combined to
make that city a more congested lalx>r market than other parts of the island. There
has been no railwav or other convenient land (H.)mmunicati(>n with the half of Cuba
that lies east of Santa Clara, and passage on the coast steamers is excee<lingly costly.
Eastern Cuba is less developed than western ( -uba. There is reported to l>e a greater
prejudice against Spaniards and other immigrants in that ])art of the island. The
cultivation an<l manufacture of tobacco is centered in the territor>' tributary to
Habana, and with it« dependent industries affords the most immediate and conven-
ient source of i^ash income to new arrivals. Finally, the S|)anish interests and their
various social and l>enefit societies have their headquarters at Habana.

CHAPTER XIV.
HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN CUBA— LAWS AND REGULATIONS-
SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN THE REPUBLIC, ETC.
Education in Spain, as elsewhere in Europe Iwfore the nineteenth
century, was «'onfin<^d almost cxolusivelv to tiie childi'en of those who
could pay for it, public and free schools \}en\^ but very little known.
In Cuba, as in all the other Spanish possessions, public inst mention was
practically ifpiored.
Mr. Rol>ert L. Packard, in his luminous report to the Connnis-
sioner of Education of the Ignited States, says:
Even in Ilabana, up to the beginning of the last century, there were no public
elementary hcIiooLj, and tlie need of them became so evident that by the munlficenoe
of a citizen (Caraballo), the Bethlehemite fathers opened a school where reading,
writing, and arithmetic were taught, which was attended by 200 pupils. In Villa
Clara a school was in existenc*e since the foundation of the town in 1689. In 1712
the philanthropic Don Juan Conye<lo, of Remeclio^, opened a free school there, aiid
another, in 1757, at Carmen. Another was o|)ened at Arriaga in 1759, but on the
death of Conye<lo tht^se schools were cl<«<e<l. Don Juan Felix de Moya reopened
that at Carmen, and the municipality, in 1775, voted $25 a year for the support of
the other; but both ceastnl to oi>erate definitely in 1787. In 1771 Matanzas, seventy-
eight years after itn foun<lation, authorizeil its governor to engage a school-teacher in
Haliana. Ventosii, a philanthropint, bequeathed several butcher shopn to the muni-
cipality to defray, with their pnxluct**, the expenses for a public school for boys.
Nor were secondary studies of a high chara(*ter in the la.st century. Then, and
8ul)6equently, too, an the historian Bachiller, quote<l by Mitjans, remarks, more
attention was paid to the pretentious form than the sulwtance, and the title of
academy or institute was given to institutions which were hanlly more than primary
schools, which held out inducements of a speeily pre|»anition for the university. At
that time, it should l.>e rememl)ered, the natural sciences had not reached the
importance they su})se<iuently attained, and the 8tu<ly of philosophy required the
royal |)ermis8ion, so that sei'ondary instruction was nnluced to a »ui)erticial study of
the humanities, especially Latin, which octrupied the leading [)Iace on a^H'Ount of its
use in fitting for the university an<l lHH»use teachers of Latin were easily fouml
among the clergy, who weri» the principal factors of e*lucation at that |»eri(Kl. All
this may be said without detnu^ting from the praiseworthy efforts and antiquity of
some institutions like the Chapter of Habana, whit^h in 1603, <»onvinctHi of the need
of a teacher of grammar, vot^nl 100 ducats for the 8upi>ort of one who should teai!h
Latin; but as the plan did not meet with the royal approbation they were oblige<i
268 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
to drop the project, only to revive it afterwards with a larger salary. In the same
year the municipality provided for continuing cla8se8 in grammar hy a monk of the
convent, which had been suspended. In 16()7 Bishop Juan de las Cabezas Altamirano
founded the Tridentine Seminary, the citizens offering to pay part of the expenses
annually. The secular clergy also gave lessons in I^tin and morals, as Conyedo did,
who prepared students for the priesthood in Villa Clara, and later, Father Antonio
Perez de Corcho, who gave lectures in philosophy in the monastery of his order.
By the bull of Adrian VI of April 28, 1522, the Scholatria was established at Santiago
de Cuba for giving instruction in Latin, and by his will, dated May 15, 1571, Capt
Francisco de Paradas left a considerable sum for the foundation of a school in
Bayamo, which in 1720 was intrusted to the charge of two monks of Santo Domingo,
in whose hands the estate increased. In 1689 the C'Ollege of San Ambrodo was
established in Habana with 12 scholarships for the purpose of preparing yoang men
for the church, but it did not fulfill its purpose, and subsequently received the severe
censure of Bishop Hechavarria Yelgueza on account of its defective education, which
had become reduced to Latin and singing. Father Jose Maria Pef^alver opened a
chair of eloquence and literature in the Convent of La Merced in 1788, which also
was not a success.
After these attempts the foundation of a Jesuit college in Habana gave a new
impulse to education. From the first, according to the historian Arriete, quoted by
Mitjans, the priests of this order had observed the inclination of the inhabitants of
Habana toward education, and Pezuela states in his History of Cuba that the
municipality in 1656 wished to establish a college of the order, but the differences
l)etween the Jesuits and the prelates in the other colonies had been so frequent that
the bishops and priests in Habana opposed the plan. But as the population
increase*!, the demands for the college multiplied, and in 1717 a citizen of Habana,
Don ( Jregorio Diaz Angel, contributed $40,000 in funds for the support of the college.
The necessary license was obtained in 1721 ; three more years were spent in selecting
and purchasing the ground, when the institution was ojHMied under the name of the
College of San Ijjrnacio. The old college of San Anil)rosio, which had been under
the direction of the Jesuits since its establishment in KJSt), was then unite<l with it,
although the old college still retaine<l its distinctive character as a foundation school
for the church.
As earl y as 1(>88 the ayuntamiento (or city council) of Habana applie<l to the
Royal (Tovernnient to establish a university in the city in order that young men
<lesirous of study might not be coni|)elled to go to the mainland or Sj)ain. This
reijuest was furthere<l by Bishoj) Viildcs, and finally, by a letter of Innocent XHI
of Septem})er 12, 1721, the fathers of the Conventof San Juan de l^tnm wereauthor-
ize<l to found the institution desired, an<l after some years of prej)aration it was
oi>ened in 1728, but the chairs of moral j)hilosoj)hy and canon law were filled pre-
viouslv bv the Dominicans ev<*n before the funds were available. The universitv,
by the cjrder received, was to have been modeled u\Hm that of Santc^ Domingo, but
finally the task of preparing the regulations for the new university was intrusted
to the fathers above mentioned l)y a royal letter in \7'.V2, nn<l they were approve*!
by the university authorities, the captain -general, and, in Spain, by the council of
the Dulies on June 27, 17.'54. The rectors, vice-rectors, counselors, and secretaries
were to l)e Dominicans, a condition that produced innumerable rivalries ami
disputes until 1S42. The lirst j)n>fess<>rs were api)ointed to their jKXsitions without
limit of time. Afterwards they «)btaine<l their plaees by comi)etition and for a t*;rm
of six vears onlv.
The first rector. Father Tomas de Linares, was appointed by the King in 1728, but
his successors were electe<l by the univei-sity authorities and were renewed annually.
An*c)ng the early rectors were Bishop Morell, of Santa Cruz, and the renowned
Cuban oratc^r, Rafael del Castillo. Unfortunately for a century the uniyeiBity was
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 269
an insignificant element of culture and wae only useful as a subject of boasting on
the part of Spain that she had introduced her civilization on this side of the water,
and on that of the Cubans that they were advancing in sciences and arts. Several
causes tended to restrict the value of the university. In the first place, it was mod-
eled on a sixteenth-centurj' i)attern. The Aristotelian system prevailed in its entirety.
The pn)fessor of mathematics was to teach l)esides practical arithmetic, which con-
sistiMlof the first four rules with the algebra, elementary geometry, trigonometry, and
astronomy and its "«leductions for the use of our Ivord and King.*' There were
))o1emical and civil architecture, geography, the sphere, mechani(%>, optics, etc.
These subjects should have lx>en included in the course of philosophy, and there
were few students even of the four rules and the aurea. The philosophical system
was the s<:holastic, with its eternal sumulas and involved system of logic antl its
defective ideas of physics. The course lasted thrt^ years, the first two of which were
occupied uith logic and the Aristotelian philosophy. But the university would not
have benefite<l much more if it had l>etin mcxleled uiK>n a Spanish university of th(^
eighteenth century, because the mother country was on the low si'ientific level to
which the deadly politics of the Austrians had reductxl her.
When Charles III urgc^l the rectors of universities in Si»ain to reform «^hication 1h»
was told it was impossible to d('])art from the Aristotelian ^^yKtem or follow the inno-
vations of (lalileo and Newton, U'caus** they were not in ac<'ord with inviolable tra-
dition. FurthermoR*, it WiL^ not always [)ossible to find suitable teachers in Culta.
For this reason the chair of math(>matics wiis vacant for a long time. Sometimes the
(Jovernment refustnl to adopt very useful ideas on l)ehalf of the university, either by
negligence or ignorance, or f(>r economical reasons. Thus the rwtor in 1761 peti-
tione<l for the enn'tion of a chair of exi)erimental physics, which was refuse<l, and
two of mathematics, only one of which was granttnl. A new plan of study was
drawn uj) in view of the i)ressing netMl of reform, but was allowe<l to lie unnotiire<l.
In 179') Don Jose Augustin Caballero n)a<le an address in the section of sciences an<l
arts of the Sociedad Economica, in which he deplonsl the Imckward condition of
eilucation, which, he said, retarde<l and embarra«»K?d the progress of the arts and
si'iences, without, however, any fault on the part of the teachers, who could only
oI)ey and execute their instructions. On motion of SenorCal)allero, a representati<m
was made to the King by a committee of the society, of the necessity of reforming in
the island, 'beginning with the university. The committe<» dedannl, among other
things, that no mathematics was taught, nor chemistry, nor practical anatomy. < Jen-
eral Las Casas supported this motion, but the Government took no action. The same
indifferen<v, or worse, was manift»stt*<l by the Spanish (iovernment in other parts of
Amerii-a. It refuse<l to peniiit the foundation of a<-a<lemies, or universities, or chairs of
mathematics, law, or pilot si-hools (the latter l>eing [mrely luxuries, the decnn? 8ai<l).
The caci<jue, Don Juan Cirillo de Ca-^tilla, endeavore<l during thirty years to obtain
permission to establish a college for Indians in his native country, but d'unl finally in
Madrid without obtaining it. The archibisho[) of < iuatemala left money by his will
for establishing a chair of moral philosophy, but the minister din.vted the money to
1k.» sent to Spain, it having lH»en inipro|>erly deviscH.1, as he declared. Charles IV pro-
hibited the establishment of the University of Merida in ManutiilK), on the ground
that he did not deem it exiH.Hlient that enlightenment should iKH'ome general in
America. There were other instances of the same |)olicy in Chile and Peru; and yet,
notwithstanding all these restrictions, Humboldt ol)eerved **a great Intel 1cm -tual
movement imd a youth endowed with a fair faculty for learning the sciences — a sure
sign of the |H>litical and moral revolution that wa** in preparation.'*
In Santiago de Cuba the seminary of San Basilio Magno was founded by Bishop
Francisco (ieronimo Valdes in 1772, for eccle9ia«»tical studies, with an endowment of
12,000 pesos. This establishment, however, did not come into operation until the
latter part of the last century. More important was the foundation of the college
270 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
and seminary of San Carloe and San Ambrosio in Habana in 1773, which was not
destined exclusively for the edacation of ecclesiastics, but included three coarseB of
philosophy and letters preparatory' to, and, besides, the higher faculties of theology,
law, and mathematics, the last two of which, however, were not opened until the
beginning of the present century.
The second epoch in the intellectual history of Cuba began with the administra-
tion of Don Luis de las Casas, whose name is held in grateful remembrance by
Cu1)an8, and who inaugurated a new era by his zealous and noble enthusiasm in pro-
moting mtellectual and educational activity. lie founded the first literary periodical
and the Sooiedad Economica (sometimes called Patriotica) de la Habana, which has
been the first mover in all the advances in the material interests and education of
the island. With him cooperated an eminent physician, Doctor Bomay; Anmgo,
the distinguished writer on economics; Caballero; Penalver, archbishop of Guate-
mala, and many others. The Sociedad Economica was charged by a royal order
with the care of education in Cuba. An inventory was taken of the primary schools
in 1793, and a deplorable state of affairs was found. In Habana there were only 39
schools, 32 of which were for girls, and the instruction was the worst, nothing but
reading being taught in many of tlieui, which were in charge of colored women.
The society then foundeti two free schools for the poor of both sexes. The society
met with much opposition, in part from Bit^hop Tres{)alacios, who was envious of Las
Casas, but it succeeded in founding schools with the help of the religious orders, par-
ticularly the school of tlie Beneficencia, in 1799, and the Ursulines, in 1803. It
endeavored to establish members of the ortler of San Sulpicio, which had met with
such success with education in New Orleans, but without result. Outside the capital
gratuitous instruction for the people did not exist, except in i^^Iated cases due to
individual efforts', principally of the clergy.
In 1801 the Sociedad took another pchool census, and found tlie numl>erof schools
in the city to Ih^ 71, with 2,000 pupils, most of which were not under the (tovem-
nient, and were taii^jht ])y ignorant colored women, who had neither metlnxl nor
order. Recognizing these fatal defect*^, the society endeavored to induce the Govern-
ment to is.**ue rt^gulations reforming the Hchools and providing faithful, competent,
and interested teachers, but without result. In IHIB the section of education was
formed and the Government grante<l $82,0<X)for primary instruction, and at this time
some imj)rovements in the condition of this branch were niade. But notwithstand-
ing the efforts of individuals, the funds were insufhcient for the growing needs, and
some of the new schools had only an ephemeral existence.
The society also devoted its energies to opening: new })ranches of study in higher
education. In 1793 it was proposed to found a chair of chemistry, an<l a subscription
of $24,(515 was immediately raised; but, owing to the ditiiculty of tinding a professor
in Europe, the chair was not filled until 1819. The api)anitns were brought from
Europe, and after souie delay quarters for a la})oratory were found in the hospital of
San Aml)r()sio. The first professor was Don Jose Tasso.
The society in 1794, fc)rmed a plan of secondary instruction, which included
mathematiirs, drawing, physics, chemistry, natural history, botany, and anatomy.
(The date and scope of this plan are noteworthy. Its spirit is quite modem.) The
creation of a botanic garden wa.< pro])osed in 1795, but the i>lan did not meet with
such entlnisiiu^m ai* the chemical laboratory, which, it was hojMnl, miptht be of use
\i) t\w sn^'ar in«lustry. The course of anatomy was oi)encd in 1797. In this same
year a real revolution took place in the instruction in pbiIosoj)liy at the Colegio Sem-
inari(> de San Carlos, the old Aristotelian philosophy Inn'omin^ rei>laced by modem
metlicKls in the lectures on lo^dc of Caballero. I^ut in IHI 1, when Felix Varela took
the chair of philosophy, the old system received its tleathblow, the names of modem
thinkers l)ecame familiar in the schools, and their doctrines were freely examined.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 271
The students were taught to use their reason as a guide and to ignore all the useless
quibbles and confused terminology of the scholastic philosophy. One of his pupils,
afterwards well known in Cuba, Don Jose de la T^uz Cabellero, said of his teacher:
** He was the first who taught us to think/' He also used Spanish instead of Latin
in his lectures, retaining the latter only one day in the week in order that its use
might not be forgotten. Part of his Institutions of Eclectic Philosophy were pub-
lished in Spanish. In physics Varela was also an esteemed professor, but later on
this chair at the college was filled by Jose Antonio Saco,^who followed in brilliant
lectures, day by day, the most recent discoveries made in Europe. The Govern-
ment, having ordered, in 1813, that political economy should be taught in the uni-
vesities, the Sociedad Fkionomica established a chair of this subject in San Carlos in
1818, which was supported by voluntary subscriptions. The new spirit was shown
further by a change in the law course from an excessive devotion to the study of the
Roman digests to the fuller study of the Spanish law. At this period me<licine,
which, as we shall see, received such preeminent attention at a later i)eriod, was far
behind the age. Until 1824 there was no chair of surgery, and chemistry and phi-
losophy were twenty years behind the times. The promoters of superior instruction
in the beginning of the new epoch, which Mitjans puts between 1790 and 1820, were
Las Casas, Bishop Espada, and the intendent Ramirez, who was mainly instrumental
in organizing the instruction in chemistry and other scientific branches, with the
constant cooperation of the Soi-ie<lad Economica.
In the second i)erio<l of the new ei)och — from 1820 to 1842 — the Sociedatl Econo-
mica, always in the vanguard of the intellei'tual movement, Ibegan to gather the fruits
of its earlier efforts in the works of the younger men who had profited by them, and
in 1830 a committee on history was fonued and another on literature. The Govern-
ment Was now in far other hands than those of Las Casas, and did its best, in the
person of General Tacon, to suppress the new political and economical views, mainly,
it is true, on account of articles which appeared in the journals published under the
auspices of the society. Still, in 1833, by virtue of a royal order, the committee on
literature constituted itself an independent academy, which encouraged or founded
literary periodicals. Its sessions were the place of meeting for all the leading men in
Cuba who were interested in letters and new ideas, and it collected a valuable
library. ♦ ♦ *
The political changes of 1820 in Spain had their effect upon education. Upon the
suppression of the convents the Government gave the chapel of one of the Augustine
orders to the Sociedad Economica for establishing a normal school, and established
a chair of constitutional law in the seminary of San Carlos and in the university, but
both the normal school and the new chairs were soon after suppressed by another
political change in 1824, and the $32,000 which the secti(m of education had receive<i
from the nuinicipality for elementary education was also re<luced; soon after which
that section receive<l its deathblow by the royal order of February 8, 1825, with-
drawing the funds which had been allotted to it, in consequence of which it was no
longer possible to maintain the new free schools. It is to be obser\'ed that during
the reign of Ferdinand VII the university, which was more directly connected with
the Madrid Government, suffered more than San Carlos, which was protected by
the Sociedad Economica and the diocesan bishop, and it remained in a backward
state until the Government commissioned Francisco de Arango to examine and
report upon the condition of the institution, which task he accomplished with the
aid of those most interested in the needed reforms. His report, in 1827, led t4) the
reforms embodied in the plan of 1842. The medical faculty meanwhile was reor-
ganized and modernized, and philosophy also, in the hands of the new teachers,
became a living force, the French school (Cousin) being represented in the period
from 1840 to 1856.
In primary and secondary education a great advance was made in the prix-aUi
272 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
colleges. From 1827 to 1830 the convenient distinction was drawn between elemen-
tary and superior instruction, and new colleges were established (five in number) in
which the instruction was so excellent that it was said in 1830 that there was no
longer any need to send young men abroad for their education. Tlie profeesors in
these colleges were well-known men of letters.
As to free primary instruction, outside of Habana and Matanzas it was in an
exceedingly backward state. The census of 1833 showed that there were only 9,082
pupils registered in the schools of the whole island, and this figure is far above the
numbers of those* acrtually attending. There were then 190,000 or 200,000 inhabit-
ants under 15 years of age. The Provinces of Puerto Principe and Santiago, with
250,000 or 300,000 inhabitants each, had 1,408 and 991 pupils in school in 1840,
respectively. In Villa Clara there wiu« only ime school from 1821 to 1834. ♦ ♦ *
The royal decrees concerning secondary and superior instruction in Cuba and
Porto Rico during the first half of the century provided principally for making
valid in Spain the titles of licentiate or doctor obtained in Cuba and Porto Ricx). In
1863 a general reform of public instruction was effecte<l, by virtue of which it was
divided int^> primary, secondary, superior, and professional branches. In 1871 a
decree provided that professors of the University of Habana are eligible for profes-
sorships in Spain, which was followed in 1878 by a decree making the professorate
in the colonies and the I^eninsula one IkmIv.
In 1880, at the close of the ten-year insurrection, sjiecial schools, which had been
calle<l for by circumstance, such as the dental college of Habana, was created, besides
society of agriculture, industry, and commerce. In this year the minister for the
colonies drew up a memorial of the unsatisfactory condition of public education in
Cul)a and Porto Rico, especially in regard to the university and institute of Halmua.
It recites that the first step toward secularizing education and assimilating it with
that of Spain in that resi)ect was taken in 1842, and that the assimilation was nearly
complete by 1863, as far as legislation and form were conccrnetl. But Cuba, he
adds, was not then i)repared for so vast and centralized an organization, and many
obstacles and delays arose that checked the proposed reform. The insurrection of
1868 interfered with education very seriously, interrupting the studies, and so mak-
ing it difficult or impossible for stu<lents to finish their courses, which again unfitted
them to become teacliers in the secondary scliools whieli were soon after established
all over the island. This state of things also interfere<l with the habilitation in the
Peninsula of studies followed in Cuba, and so tended to separate the two countries in
that res[)ect. All these considerations led to the decree of June 18, 1880, n'gulating
superior and secondary instruction, and coordinating those branches in Cul)a with
the same grades in Spain established by the decrees of 1874 and order of 1875. One
of the i>rincipal features of this decree was the article antliorizing the establishment
of a secondary institution in the capital of each Cuban Province, at the ex j)ense of
the Province or municipality, with a subvention from the governor-general from the
estimates for the islan<l. In capitals where there were no pnl^lic secondary institutes,
colleges of the religious orders might lx» substituted by thegovern(»r-general, with the
advice of the council. But the degrees granted by these private institutions wert^ to
be veritie<l, as only the degrees of public institutions were recognized. In accord-
ance with this decree an institute of secondary education was established in Porto
Rico in 18S2, there ]>eing already several in Cuba. An agricultural conmiission was

«
the generoeity of Don Juan F. Carballo. He was, according to some authorities
a native of Seville, and according to others, of the Canary Islands. He repaid
thus generously the debt of gratitude he owed the country where he had acquired
his wealth. In the sixteenth century, a philanthropist of Santiago de Cuba, Fran-
cisco Paradas, had afforded a like good example by bequeathing a large estate for
the purpose of teaching Latin linguistics and Christian morals. The legacy was
eventually made of avail by the Dominican friars, who administered it, but when
the convents were abolished it was swallowed by the royal treasury, and thus the
beneficent intentions of the founders were frustrated, to the permanent danger of
the unfortunate country. Only these two institutions, due entirely to individual
initiative, are recorded in our scholastic annals during the first three centuries of the
colony. The thirst and scent for gold reigned supreme. The sons of wealtliy fami-
lies, in the absence of learning at home, sought schools and colleges in foreign parts
in this century [nineteenth]. On their return, with the patriotic zeal natural to
cultured men, they endeavored to better the intellectual condition of their com-
patriots. This enforced emigration of Cubans in quest of learning was fought against
by our Government. The children of Cuban families were forbidden to be educated
in foreign countries. This despotic measure was adopted without any honest effort
being made to establish schools for instructing the children of a population already
numbering nearly 500,000 souls.
The Sociedad £conomica was founded in 1793, during the time of Las Casas, whose
name has always been venerated among the Cubans. Then, as now, the meml)ers
of this association were the most talented men of the country, and their l)est efforts
were directed toward promoting public instruction. It gave impulse and organiza-
tion to the school system in Cuba. It established inspection, collecteil statistics, and
founded a newspaper to promote instruction, and devoted its profits to this cause.
It raised funds and labored with such zeal and enthusiam that it finally secured the
assistance of the colonial government and obtained an appropriation, though but of
small amount, for the benefit of popular instruction.
In 1793 there were only 7 schools for boys in the capital of Cuba, in which 408
white and 144 free colored children could be educated. From this privilege the
slaves were debarred. The 7 schools referred to, l)esides a number of seminaries for
girls, afforded a means of livelihood for a number of free mulattoes and some whitens.
The schools were private undertakings, paid for by the parents. Only one, that of
the reverend Father Senor, of Hal>ana, was a free school. Reading, writing, and
arithmetic were taught in these schools. Lorrenzo Lendez, a mulatto of Habana,
was the only one who taught Spanish grammar. The poor of the free coloretl classes
were on a par with the slaves. The Sociedad Economica founded 2 free schools,
one for each sex. The bishop, Feliz Jose de Trespalacios, nullified the laudable
efforts of the country's wellwishers by maintaining that it was unnecessary to estal)-
lish more schools. From 1793 to 1893 the society was unable to accomplish even a
part of its noble purpose; it was found impossible to obtain an official sanction of
popular education. In 1817 there were 90 sc^hools in the rest of the island, 19 dis-
tricts (all, or nearly all), founded by private individuals. In 1816 the section of
education of the Sociedad Economica was establishetl. It afforded a powerful
impulse to the cause of education, thanks to the infiuential support of the governor,
Don Alejandro Ramirez. The schools improved; the boys and girls, lx>th white and
black, were taught separately; literary contests were opened; annual examinations
were made obligatory; prizes were distributed, and a powerful incentive was create<l
among all classes for the cause of education. But the concessions attained for the
society by the influence of Ramirez were revoked by royal order of February, 1824.
In this year the municipality of Habana loaned the Sociedad Patriotica $100 for
schools.

In 1826 there were only 140 schools in the island, of which 16 were free, and in
1827 the society obtained $8,000 per annum for the establishment and maintenance
of new schools. In 1836 there were only 9,082 children receiving elementary instmc-
tion in the whole island. In 1860 the nmnber of schools had increased to 283 for
whites and 2 for colored, yet the attendance was proportionately leas than in 1836,
owing to the increase in popolation. Popular instruction was neglected or despised
by deputy governors (military).
The reformed course of studies of 1863 did not improvjB the condition of the
schools, and the secretary of the governor made recommendations that virtnally
tended to keep the population in ignorance in order to keep it Spanish. In 1883 the
schools numbered as follows:

But the teachers were not paid, and public instruction was neglected.
The system in operation at the time of the American intervention,
January 1, 1899, was based on the law of 1865 as modified by that of
1880, and had it been carried out accoi-ding to the spirit of said law
public instruction in Cuba would have been as practical and complete
as in any country in the civilized world. But the appropriations for
the schools were far from adequate and their administration most
imperfect. The teachers were poorl}' paid and their method, if they
had any, was of the most antiquated pattern.
Private schools abounded in the island, and especially in Habana,
and many of them were conducted by al)le Cuban professors; but the
benefits of these schools could onlv be cnioved bv the children of the
wealthy. Those of the poorer classes, who were compelled to attend
the public or ''municipal" schools, received a rudimentary and wholly'
inefBcient primary instruction.
The Government, on the other hand, did not enforce to any practical
degree the law providing for compulsory assistance to the schools, and
but a very small percentage of the poor children availed themselv^es
of the benefits of free education.
The plan of studies then in operation called for a course of secondary
instruction (segunda cnsenanza), which followed the primary. This
secondurv instruction corresponded, to a certain degree, with the
American high school, and its dumtion was five years. During this
time the students attended the institutes or colleges of secondary
instruction, incoq:)orated to the institutes, and were taught the follow-
ing curriculum:
F/r.H/ tjear. — Spanish grammar, Latin, universal geography.
iSfcond year. — Spanish grammar, Latin, history of Spain.
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 275
Third year, — Rhetoric and poetry, arithmetic, algebra, xmiverBal history, and
English or French.
FourUi year, — Second course of English or French, psychology, logic and moral
philosophy, geometry, and trigonometry.
Fifth year, — Agriculture, natural history, anatomy, physiology, and hygiene.
At the time of the American occupation the most reliable private
colleges in operation were the following:
Ilabana: Jesuit College of Belen, Escuelas Pias (in Guanabacoa),
San Francisco de Paula, Habana, San Rafael, Areas, San Meliton,
San Miguel, El Progreso, Santa Ana, San Luis, La Gran Antilla,
Isabel la Catolica, San Carlos, Centro Gallego, San Anacleto.
Cienfuegos: Nuestra Senora del Monserrat, San Carlos, Cristobal
Colon, Nuestra Senora del Carmen, San Luis Gonzaga, Perseverancia,
El Sagrado Corazon.
Matanzas: El Siglo, Academia Junco, etc.
At the end of the five-year course at the institutes the students
received the degi'ee of bachelor of arts and were in a position to
enter the university at Habana, whose curriculum embraced law,
medicine and pharmacy, philosophy and belles-lettres, and the exact
sciences.
There also existed during the latter part of the Spanish domination
a school of arts and trader at Habana, an academy of design, and the
correctional asylum of San Jose, this latter being more of a peniten-
tiary for offending children than a school.
The first care of the American government of intervention was to
provide teachers and schools of primary instruction throughout the
island. A new system of primary instruction was inaugurated, a
normal school for teachers created, and soon after the occupation of
the island by the United States the wonderful work of reconstruction
was begun.
There is perhaps no other deed in the history of the American
administration of Cuba that can be compared to that of the radical
transformation of the old and inadequate method of public instruction
existing under the Spanish regime.
The Cubans are indebted for most of the beneficial reforms intro-
duced to Mr. Alexis E. Frye, superintendent of schools of the island
during the early part of the intervention, and to Lieutenant Hanna,
U. S. Arrav, his worthv successor.
In order to give the Cuban teachers an opportunity to study the
methods of teaching existing in the United States, Mr. Frye conceived
and successfully carried into effect the project of taking a good many
of them to Hansard University. This visit to the justly renowned
center of education afforded the Cuban teachers many opportunities to
observe and to learn, of which they availed themselves for the benefit
of their country.
276 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
Soon adequate buildings for schools were provided, the number of
schoolhouses and teachers rapidl}^ augmented, and the authorities
spared no effort to compel the children to attend the classes.
In spite of this, of the entire population of school age, which, accord-
ing to the school census of 1902, was 400,000, 70 per cent being white,
only 47 i>er cent were enrolled during 1902, and only 24 per cent were
in regular attendance at the public schools. The small percentage of
attendance is accounted for by the sparseness of population in rural
districts. Nearly half the inhabitants of the island are collected in
towns, the rest being so scattered over the country as to give a density
of only 18 per square mile.
The organization of ''school cities" was one remarkable feature
introduced during the year 1902. The plan is to have the scholars
organize themselves into bodies, similar to the municipal governing
bodies, the puipose being to teach the youth the first principles of
responsibility and self-government. The plan has worked with
remarkable success and "great things are predicted for it in the future.
At the advent of the Cuban Republic (May 20, 1902), one of the
first cares of the Government was to continue the good work of its
predecessor in the matter of education.
The total niunber of students at the different institutes during the
school year pf 1900-1901 was 772. For a like period in 190S-4 the
number was 1,330.
It can he said that in the public schools of Cuba the school imple-
ments, furniture, and teachint^ material are far superior to those of the
private schools. The exercise of the teaching profession is free, the
state only reserving itself the right to sec that the private teachers
possess the necessary qualifications and tliat tlieir schools offer the
required hygienic and pedagogical conditions.
The institutes of secondary instruction, which, according to the
illustrious Cuban professor. Dr. Enricjue Jose Varona, former secre-
tary of instruction during the period of American administration, only
had the name of "^'institutes of education," and which during the
period of the war had been reduced to two (those of Habana and Ma-
tanzas), were also recognized b}' the American intervention govern-
ment, which also reopened the institutes at Santa Clara, Camaguey,
Santiago de C^iba, and Pinar del Rio.
An academy of stenography and typewriting was inaugurated; the
school of couunerce at the Institute of Ilabaiui was reorganized; schools
of surveyors were opened at those of ilatanzas, Camaguey (Puerto
Principe), Santiago de Cuba, and Pinar del Kio, and the chair of agri-
culture, which had been suppressed, was again created in all of them.
It was also under the American administration that the vast and
diflicult reform of the university took place, the author of the plan
HANDBOOK OP CUBA. "277
being Mr. Varona, then secretary of public instruction. By this plan
the number of professional schools was augmented, thus opening new
fields to the activity and energy of the Cuban youth.
Under this system the university has been divided into three facul-
ties, viz: Letters and sciences, medicine and pharmacy, and law.
The faculty of letters and sciences consists of the following: School
of letters and philosophy, school of pedagogy, school of sciences, school
of engineers, electricity, and architects, and school of agriculture.
The faculty of medicine and pharmacy consists of school of medicine,
school of pharmacy, school of dental surgery, and school of veterinary
surgery.
The faculty of law consists of school of civil law, school of public
law, and school of notarial law.
As a consequence of the scope given the higher studies, and with
the object of giving them the practical character derived from modern
methods by means of experiments, a number of museums and labora-
tories have been established, thus giving the system a decidedly
objective character.
The total number of students enrolled in the academic course of
1903-4 was 524. Of these, 156 belonged to the school of letters and
philosophy, pedagogy, sciences, electrical engineering, architecture,
and agriculture; 203 to the law schools, and the balance to the school
of medicine. During the same year 173 diplomas have l)een issued,
including 26 to trained nurses.
Order No. 76, of February, 1900, designated the faculty of the
School of Painting and Sculpture of Habana, at the same time pro-
viding for its maintenance. This school has a double purpose — not
only the cultivation of the artistic tastes and faculties of those study-
ing in its class rooms, but also of those who may subsequently apply
this knowledge to the industrial arts.
The number of students enrolled in the coui-ses of 1899-1900, 1902-3,
and 1903-4 was 489, 548, and 467, respectively.
On March 5, 1900, a military order was issued providing generously
for the maintenance of the School of Arts and Trades of Habana.
The total attendance at this school during the courses of 1900-1902
and 1902-3 was 322 and 436, respectively.
In 1905 there were 720 private schools.
At the beginning of the school year 1904-5 the number of public
schoolrooms in Cuba was 3,538, against 3,472 in the previous year. The
number of special schools is to-day 87, as against 72 existing last year,
which gives a total of 3,605 schoolrooms to-day, against 3,544 during
the previous year. This increase corresponds mainly to the rural
schools, the total numY)er of which is to-day 1,833, as against 1,740
existing in November, 1903. By so increasing the number of rural
public schools the attendance at the city schools has not been dimin-

ished. The school law considers ''city" district, the town with more
than 10,000 inhabitants, and ''rural" those with less.
There are 105 school districts, of which 1 is a city district of the first
class, 11 city districts of the second class, and 93 are rural districts.
Cuba can justly feel proud of possessing at this moment a competent
body of teachers, both male and female, and of having acquired in the
important branch of public instruction a prominent place among the
foremost nations of the world.
To attain this, the Cuban Government has spared no effort. The
people have cooperated with the authorities, and the Republic can
to-day boast of being the only nation on earth which has more teachers
than soldiers.
No other public department of the Government, perhaps, receives
more attention than that of education. The secretary of this branch
of the administration is considered one of the most important, and the
greatest care is exercised in order to maintain in its offices a trust-
worthy and competent personnel.
No modern idea, device, or implement is to be missed in a Cuban
school; the objective system has been implanted in all, and the scholars
receive, besides a practical and useful elementary education, a solid
and greatly beneficial course of moral and civic instruction.
The estimated attendance at the public and private schools of the
Republic is 231,869 daily or 95 per cent of the school census.
The present budget provides for the creation of 100 more schools.
The grade of perfection attained by the Cuban school was shown at the
university exposition of St. Louis, Mo., where the prizes awarded the
works of our schools were numerous.
The attention that the Cuban Government pays to education is shown
in the fact that $3,751,087, or more than 20 per cent of the general
budget of the nation, is dedicated to public instruction.
Annual examinations for primary teachers take place during the
summer in the principal cities of the island, and certificates of first,
second, and third grade, according to their abilities, are given the
examiners, authorizing them to teach in the public schools of Cuba, if
appointed by the different boards of education.
The normal school, kindergarten for teachers, situated in the city
of Habana, is working with regularity; the greatest severity is exer-
cised in the examinations, and no teacher is appointed without having
demonstrated his ability and knowledge of the profession to the full
extent.
A fact which serves to illustrate the comforting attitude of the
Cuban people toward education is that the number of private schools
and colleges, far from diminishing, has increased.
The number of students enrolled in the Universitv of Habana this
Handbook of ouba. 279
year is 540. This Dumi)er is condt&ntJj increasing^ and it is to be
hoped that during the present course niore than 600 will be enrolled.
At the School of Painting and Sculpture there are at present 543
students, of which 209 are girls.
The School of Arts and Trades has on its rolls 467 students, of
w^hich 315 attend during the day and 160 during the evening hours.
Nine thousand dollars are spent annually for the maintenance of this
school.
CHAPTER XV.
PATENT AND TRADE-MARK REGULATIONS.
At the time of the ceasing of the Spanish domination in Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines, there existed in those territories two dif-
ferent patent hiws, to wit, one concerning those patents to be employed
within the Spanish territory, and the other confined to the patents to
be used in the Spanish insular possessions.
In 1873 the minister of public works prop9sed to extend to these
possessions the same legislation of the Peninsula, but advising, at the
same time, to confine the right of issuing patents to said ministry of
public works.
The council of state, however, did not agree on this point, and by
a royal order, dated January 17, 1873, the proposed centralization of
the right of issuing patents was declared to be not proper, ''owing
to the diflVreni'c in the political and administrative organization of
the Provinces/'
Under the present republican regime of Cuba the superior author-
ity in matters of patents is the secretar}' of agriculture, industry, and
commerce.
The two patent ofiiees in Cuba to-day are the office of the secretary
of agriculture, industry and commerce and the Sociedad Economica
de Amigos del Pais. All the other offices mentioned in the royal
decn»c of June 30, 1S33, have been abolished. The civil governors
of the Provinces intervene only in the forwarding to the secretary' of
' the applications for patents and privileges.
On th(» *J2d of Septem})er, 1004, the (lovernment of Cuba, in con-
formity with article !♦) of the international convention, signed at Paris
March 2o, is.s;j, for the* protection of industrial property, notified the
Swi?<s (iovorninent of the adhesion of the Republic of C.Uiba to the said
convention, npprovcd })V th(» Cuban Senate on the 5th and ratified by
the President on the Sth of the same month. Cuba has also made a
tn^ity with Fiance for^ the protection of industrial property, and by
proclamation of the President of the United States, dated the 1 7th day
of November, It^o;^, Cuban citizens enjoy the same benefits in the
United States as Americans under the copyright law.

HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 281
Article XIII of the treaty of Paris, dated the 10th of December,
1898, is as follows:
The rights of property secured by copyrights and patents acquired by Spaniards
in the island of Cuba and in Porto Rico, the Philippines, and other ceded territories,
at the time of the exchange of the ratification of this treaty, shall continue to be
respected. Spanish ncientific, literary, and artistic works, not subversive of public
onler in the territorieH in question, shall continue to be admitted free of duty in such
territories for the period of ten years, to be reckoned from the date of the exchange
of the ratifications of this treaty.
The Department of State of the United States published on October
25, 1902, a report sent to it by the United States minister in Cuba on
the subject of patents, trade-marks, and copyrights, which came accom-
panied with a brief by Mr. Fernando M. Vidal, which I'eads as follows:
TRADE-MARKS.
Circular No. 12 of the Division of Customs and Insular Affairs, dated April 11,
1899, which is applicable to both patents and trade-marks, provides protection for
American patents and trade-marks upon filing a duly certified copy of the patent or
of the certificate of registration of the tituie-mark, print, or label in the office of the
governor-general of the island. Provision is also made for the protection of rights of
property in patents and trade-marks secured under the Spanish laws.
Circular No. 21 of the Division of Customs and Insular Affairs, dated June 1, 1899,
pro\ide8 that the fee for filing the certified copies mentioned in circular No. 12 shall
be $1, and that as t<) patents the only certification required is that issued by the
United States ConimisHioner of Patents.
On September 25, 1899, circular No. 34 was issued by the Divisiop of Customs and
Insular Affairs, applicable to both patents and trade-marks, rescinding so much of
circular No. 21 as required the payment of a fee for filing certified copies of patents
or certificates of registration of trade-marks, prints, or labels.
A paragraph is added to circular No. 21 requiring a power of attorney from the
owner of the patent or trade-mark authorizing another for him, and in his place to
file a certified copy of the patent or certification of the trade-mark, print, or label,
to be file<l with such certified copy or certificate of registration. It is further pro-
vided that assignments of patents, trade-marks, prints, or labels, or certified copies
thereof, shall be filed in the same manner.
By a subsequent circular. No. 38, of the Division of Customs and Insular Affairs,
diKed March 9, 1900, so much of ci regular No. 34 of the said division as relateil to fees
was rescindetl, thereby restoring the registration fee of $1 provided for by circular
No. 21 in relation to American pat<*nt8 and trade-marks.
Upon this question of registration fees for Ameritran patents and trade-marks, the
secretary of agriculture, conunerce, and industries, under date of June 21, 1902,
issued a circular order which was published in the Gaceta de la Habana on June 23,
1902, wherein it is recited that —
"The military government of the United States in this island having ceased, by
virtue whereof and in accordance with the express text thereof, circulars Noe. 12 and
21, dated, respectively, April 11 and June 1, 1899, issued by the Division of Customs
and Insular Affairs of the War Department at Washington, concerning the registra-
tion of American trade-marks and })atents, have become without value or effect, inas-
much as said circulars were issueil for the territories subject to military forces of the
United States, I have resolved that patents and marks of all kinds, prints, labels, and
tickets, duly registered in the Patent Oflice of the United States, whoee filing in this
282 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
island may be requested for their protection in future, shall from the present date
be recorded in the Bureau under my charge in proper case, upon complying with
the procedure followed for registration from other countries and the payment of $35
currency for patents and $12.50 currency for marks, prints, etc. — that is to say, the
same fees which are paid by all others, foreign or national, in place of $1 currency
which is provided for in said circular No. 21 regarding the American."
In an unpublished communication, dated August 12, 1902, addressed to the secretary
of state and government by the secretary of agriculture, commerce, and indostries, a
ruling is contained to the effect that ** civil order No. 160, series 1901, June 13, 1901,
has not been revoked, and that American trade-marks which have been registered
in pursuance of circulars 12 and 21 of the Division of Customs and Insular A&urs
are fully protected without the necessity of any further formality, and that the cir-
cular published in the Gazette on June 23, 1902, has had for its object the equaliza-
tion of procedure followed in this island for the filing and protection of foreign trade-
marks and patents in accordance with the international treaty of 1883, and that,
upon the expiration of the term of protection granted to marks, etc., roistered under
circulars 12 and 21, above mentioned, the Department reserves the right to take the
proper steps. This will be the subject of a law.'*
At this point it seems proper to in\ite attention to civil order No. 148, series 1902,
whereby "each and every of the laws, decrees, regulations, orders, and other rulings
made and promulgated by and under the military government of Cuba shall be
deemed to be general and continuing in character, and to be applicable to and bind-
ing upon all oflicers of the Government of Cuba, under whatsoever names or titles,
who shall succeed the officers of the military government, and to continue in force
and effect, under whatsoever government may exist in Cuba, until such time as it
may be legally revoked or amended, pursuant to the terms of the constitution
aforesaid."
Article 12 of said royal decree of August 21, 1884, has been amended by civil order
512, series 1900, dated December 19, 1900, by adding to paragraph 1 of said article
the following:
"Those who buy or sell receptacles, stamped in a permanent manner with a trade-
mark which is registereil in the name of another person, except to such person or
his authorized agent, or who use such receptacles, placing therein for sale the same
or similar products as those for which said receptacles are used by the owner of the
trade-mark. In such cases the receptacles shall be seized, which the infringer shall
forfeit to the owner of the trade-mark."
The said article of said order amends article 287 of the penal code by extending
the penalty therein provided to this offense.
Article 36 of said royal decree of August 21, 1884, is amended by civil order 511,
series 1900, by substituting for paragraph 2 thereof the following:
"Manufacturers, merchants, agriculturists, and industrials applying for registration
of the same mark, having distinguishing minor details, with the ol)ject of pointing
out the various classes and grades of one product, or for any other motive, shall l)e
furnished with a certificate of registration for each variation of the mark, stating
their special use, and charging them the corresponding fees ($12.50 L'nited States
currency) for each certificate issued."
PATENTS.
The law of patents of Cuba is (!ontaine<l in the royal decree of June 30, 1833, which
was modified by the royal order of January 17, 1873, which prohibited the conces-
si(m of " patents of introduction."
The circulars of the Division of Customs and Insular Affairs, hereinbefore cited in
*iference to trade-marks registered in the United States and seeking protection in
iba, have application also to American patents under like circumstances; and the
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 283
circular aboye mentioned — of the Secretary of Ajifriculture, etc., dated June 21, 1902 —
is likewise applicable to patents.
The plans and specifications are required to be presented in closed and sealed
envelopes, which are to be opened only by the examining board when about to pass
upon the same.
When a case arises which is not specially provided for in the law, it is the practice
to follow as precedent and legal doctrine in the matter the provisions of the Spanish
law of patents of July 30, 1878.
COPYRIGHTS.
The law of copyrights in force in Cuba is that of January 10, 1879, extended to
this island by royal order of January 14, 1879.
This has been modified by civil order 119, series 1900, whereby it is provided as
follows:
**I. Authors of foreign scientific, artistic, and literary works, or their agents or
representatives, shall enjoy in the island of Cuba the protection granted by the law
of intellectual property of January 10, 1879, for the period during which said works
are protected in the country where they originate, provided this period does not
exceed the time aIlowe<l in the aforementioned law, and provided said authors com-
ply with the requirements of the same and its regulations.
**1I. This provides that the general register referred to in paragraph 33 of said
law shall be kept in the deimrtnient of state and government.
**1I1. Foreign works must l)e entered in the general register. To effect said regis-
tration, a duly Iegalize<i certificate must be presented from the proper authority of
the country where the work originates, as a guarantee of proprietorship in favor of
the person soliciting the registration.
"IV. Civil governors and municipal mayors shall not suspend in any case the
representation, reading, or i)erformance of literary or musical works, in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 63 of the regulations of the law of intellectual
property, except in cases where the claimant proves himself to be the proprietor of
the work, or his agent or representative, by producing the certificate of registration
issued by the general registry and the power of attorney whenever this be necessary.
** V. No fees shall be collected for the registration of foreign works, and certificates

PATENT LAWS.
No. 1.
Royal ordinance of June SO, 1833,
The King: By royal decree of March 27, 1826, to be executed within the limits of
this my kingdom and adjacent islands, 1 was pleased to take measures which I
deemed to be conducive to encourage and protect my intelligent and industrious vas-
sals who, to the advantage of science and art, should happen to invent new machines,
instruments, apparatuses, or methods, scientifical or mechanical, as well as those
who should propose to introduce them from foreign countries or materially improve
those which were already in use. For that purpose, as it was necessary and just, I
promulgated some rules tending to necure for them the ownership and enjoyment of
their inventions, granting them exclusive privilege to that effect for a certain time,
so as to reconcile the protection due to private interests and to the benefit of the
industry, protecting them against all usurpation and avoiding the dangers of a stag-
nation and monopoly in the matter of inventions.
Subsequent to that time several letters of privilege published in the Gaceta have
been grante<l for this my kingdom, and two more upon the advice of the council of
the Indies for the introduction and use in the Philippine Islands of a foreign machine
destined to smelt and refine iron and for weaving fabrics, whereupon I recommended
to the same council to study the manner of putting the said de(»ree into operation in
all my dominions of America and Asia, with such changes and amendments as cir-
cumstances may rwiuire. And acting in accordance with the reports of the said
(council of April 20, 1829, and December 20, 1832, and after hearing the reports of the
intendents-general of Cuba, the Philippine Islands, and Porto Rico, the comptroller
of the treasury of the Indies, and my attorney-general, I have decided to promulgate
the following articles:
1. P^very person of whatever condition or country who proposes to establish or
establishes a machine, apparatus, instrument, process, or operation, mechanical or
chemical, which, cither wholly or in part, are new or have not been established in
the same manner or form in either Cuba, Porto Rico, or the Philippine Islands, shall
have the exclusive rijjht of ownerehip and use of the whole or of the part which is
not in of>eration there, subject to the rules and n)nditi()ns to lx» hereafter set forth
and to the laws, n.>yal onlers, regulations, and ordinances to police. But as it is
aln^ady declareil by me in regani to Cuba, by royal (»rtler of Decoml)er 27, 1827, com-
municated to the indendent-general of Habana, it is to be understood that the privi-
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 285
lege of introdaction refers only to the manner of carrying the same into effect, and
that the faculty of applying it to different objects is free to all others.
2. Taking into consideration the particular condition of the island of Cuba, where
no inducement is necessary for the promotion of the agricultural industry, especially
in the branch of the manufacture of sugar boxes, the owners of the estates, as well
as the authorities, follow very closely the progress made in the matter in foreign
countries and introduce and put into operation at once the machines, instruments,
apparatuses, processes, and scientific methods applicable to their business, the con-
cession of the privilege shall be limited to inventors and importers. Mere importers
shall be dealt with at the discretion of the captain-general and the intendent, who,
acting in the capacity of the superior directive board, and after hearing the opinion
of the city council, of the board of commerce or promotion of public welfare, men-
tion of which shall be made in article 28, and the economical society, shall decide,
if it is deemed advisable, what are the branches of industry or agriculture, as well
as the districts, in reference to which no privilege is to be granted. This shall be
done by special rules or additional articles, which shall be submitted to me for
approval.
3. To secure for the interested party the exclusive ownership of the invention a
royal letter of privilege shall be granted to him, and this shall be done without
entering into any examination of the novelty or usefulness of the invention, and
with the understanding that the concession is not to be taken in any manner or form
as an indorsement of its novelty and usefulness, the interested party remaining sub-
ject to the provisions of the present ordinance.
4. Privileges shall be granted for periods of five, ten, or fifteen years, as the appli-
cants may desire, in cases of invention, and for five years alone in cases of importa-
tion from abroad, it being understood that the privilege granted for the establishment
or introduction of the machines, apparatuses, instruments, processes, or operations,
mechanical or chemical, is for doing something in these kingdoms, but not to bring
into them any object manufactured abroad which shall be subject to the provisions
of the tariff in regard to importationn.
5. The privilege granted for five years to the inventors may be extended five years
longer upon just and good reasons. Privileges granted for periods of ten and fifteen
years can not be extended.
6. Anything which is not practiced and used, either in these dominions or in any
foreign country, shall be a proper matter for a privilege of invention. What is not
in use in the island into which the importation is proposed, but which is in use in
other islands, in Spain, or in a foreign country, shall be a proper matter for a privi-
lege of introduction, provided that no privilege shall be granted for anything the
models or descriptions of which may be found in the city corporations, boards of
commerce or promotion of public welfare, economical societies, and archives of the
Grovemment, unless three years have elapsed since its importation without its hav-
ing been put into practice. In that case a privilege of introduction shall be granted
for only five years.
7. Applic*ants for a letter of approval shall have to appear either personally or
through an attorney, and by means of a memorial drawn in accordance with model
No. 1, attached to this ordinance, to the intendent of the Province of their residence.
Applications in the island of Cuba shall be filed before the intendent of Habana.
8. Applications shall refer to only one object, and shall be accompanied with a
drawing or model and a proper description and explanation of the invention, speci-
fying in the proper way which is the mechanism or process which it is claimed has
never been practiced before. Everything must be stated clearly and preoisely, in
order to prevent doubts after the real nature of the claim on which the privilege has
been granted.
9. The models shall have to be submitted, as well as the drawings, descriptions,
286 HANDBOOK OF CUBA.
and specifications, in a sealed box; but tbe drawings, descriptions, and ppecificmtions
may also be inclosed in a sealed envelope. In either case a label, prepared accord-
ing to model No. 3, shall be affixed to the package.
10. The intendent shall cause the word ^^presentado," as well as the seal of his
office, to be stamped on the package, and shall give the applicants a certificate show-
ing that the letter was received. If the application is made in any of the subaltern
Provinces of Cuba, the letter of transmittal to the intendent of the capital shall be
delivered to the applicants in order that they themselves, or some one in their name,
should take it to the intendent of Habana.
11. The intendent shall refer all the papers to the superior directive board, which,
in his presence and in the presence of the attorney-general, shall cause the package
to be opened. If the documents found therein have been drawn in accordance with
article 8 of this ordinance, the privilege shall be granted without further examina-
tion, and a copy of the resolution passed to this effect shall be sent to the captain-
general, to whom the applicant shall then address a petition drawn in accordaooe
with No. 2, requesting him to issue in his favor and in my name a letter of privilege
according to model No. 4.
12. Before the letter is issued the applicant shall produce a receipt "isho wing that
the following fees have been paid by him to the board of commerce or promotion of
public welfare, to wit:
For a privilege of five years $70
For a privilege of ten years 210
For a privilege of fifteen years 420
For mere introduction 210
One-half of these fees shall go to the board of commerce or promotion of pnblic
welfare, to be applied to the progress of the arts and industry, and the other half
shall be sent to Spain to the conservatory at Madrid.
An additional fee of $8 shall Iw paid for the issue of the patent.
13. After the patent is issued, the jjovernor will send a copy thereof to the intend-
ent, and it shall be the duty of the latter to transmit to the board of commerce or
promotion of public welfare the documents in the ciise, properly sealed, and to
rei)ort to me, through my secretary of fomento, sending at the same time the portion
of the fee corresponding to the Royal Conservatory of Arts, in which institution a
record shall be made of the patent grante<l, according to the provisions of article 15.
All the documents and papers relating to patents shall be kept in rooms properly
arranged for this purpose in the office of the board of commerce or promotion of
public welfare, and no package shall be oj^ned except in case of litigation and by
order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
14. The concessions or privileges shall be published in the respective Diario del
Gobierno and in the Gaceta de Madrid.
15. A book shall be kept in the boards of commerce or promotion of public welfare,
in which all the patents of privilege shall l>e recorded chronologically, with excep-
tion of the dates, names, and residence of the patentees, the object of the prinlege,
and the time of its duration. This register shall be open to public inspection.
16. Should the interested party come to this Kingdom and request a patent, either
personally or through an attorney, he shall have to comply with the provisions of
articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the royal decree of March 27, 1826, it being
understood that the matter is to be transacted in the department of fomento and the
council of the Indies, and that the time granted by article 4 shall \ye extended or
shortened at the discretion of the authorities, according to the distances and the object
of the patent.
17. The patentee shall enjoy the exclusive use of the invention, machinery, etc.,
for which the patent was granted, and no one shall have the right to use or put it
into practice, either the entire object or any part thereof which he has declared to
HANDBOOK OF CUBA. 287
be new or not used in the district where it is to be introduced, without his consent.
The identity of the invention is to be determined by the model, drawings, and
description filed with the application, which shall serve at all times as evidence.
18. The period of ownership of the invention shall be counted from the day and
hour of the filing of the application and documents before the intendent; and if two
or more persons have made application for patents for the same object, the patent
shall be granted to the person who first made application. In case application is
made by two or more persons, some of whom are in these kingdoms and others in
Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippine Islands, the patent shall be granted to all if no
more than one month appears to have intervened between the dates of the applica-
tions in those islands and here. This period shall be extended to four months for
those of the Philippine Islands. If the difference between the dates of application
is greater, the patent shall be given to the first applicant.
19. Patentees shall have the right to assign, transfer by gift, donation, purchase,
or any other contract, and also by last will and testament, the privileges granted to
them as any other kind of property.
20. Assignments and transfers shall have to be made by public deed, which shall
set forth whether the privilege has been transferred for the purpose of being put
into practice in the whole district or in only one of the Provinces or localities of the
same; also whether the transfer is absolute and in full; whether the patentee shall
or shall not use it himself, and whether the assignee shall or shall not have the right
to transfer the patent to some one else in his turn.
21. Assignees shall be bound to file a certified copy of the deed of assignment with
the intendent before whom the application for the patent was originally filed; and
he, after having caused the said deed to be recorded, shall forward it to the capital
of the island and to the board of commerce or promotion of public welfare. The
intendent shall also give notice of the transfer to my secretary of fomento, who will
transmit the information thus given to him to the Royal CJonservatory of Arts, where
proper record shall be made of the said transfer in the manner and form specified in
article 13. The transfer of the patent shall be null and void if the certified copy of
the deed of transfer is not filed as above provided within sixty days after the date of
execution.
22. The duration of the privileges shall be counted from the date of the patent.
23. Patents shall be terminated and become valueless in the following cases:
(1) At the expiration of the period for which they were granted.
(2) When the interested parties do not apply for the royal letters of patents
within three months, to be counted from the dates of the applications.
(3) When the patentee himself, or some one else in his name, has failed to put
the patent into practice within the time fixeil for that purpose.
(4) W^hen the patentee abandons the patent, total suspension of the exercise of

ical soi'ieties, Government archives, etc., without having passed the three years
mentioned in article 6, and, finally, when it is found out that the machinery or
process protected by the patent and represented as new and a matter of invention of
the applicant is established and in practice in some other part of the dominions of
His Majesty or in foreign countries.

and through it to the director of the EU>yal Con{!>ervatory.
25. In all other cases of termination of a patent the declaration shall be made by
the court of competent jurisdiction at the request of some interested party. The
said court, upon conmderation of the evidence produced before it, shall decide
whether the patent has or has not been terminated.
26. The courts of competent jurisdiction in these matters shall be the courts of the
intendants of the respective Provinces. The petitions shall be filed before the
intendant of the Province where the patentee is domiciled. The appeals against tlie

Ro^al deene cfAugtut fl^ 1884.
Sire: Owing to the confuaon and vignenen which for some time has been notioed
in the important qoeation of tiade-markfl in the provincea beyond the aeaa, the neoea-
eity for revision of the law on that subject is keenly felt Pnblic opinion ia atrangly
in favor of having the tobacco mannfactoring indnatry in Caba and Boito Bico effi-
dentiy protected. It ia argent that an end should be put to the inaecuiity resnlting
from the pieaent state of affairs in the tobacco industry, in order that this indnatry,
constituting wealth of such importance on account of the special oonditiona of the
island of Cuba, be properly attende<l to and developed. All of thia waa known. Sire,
to one of my predecesBors who, after duly considering the suggestion made by cer-
tain manufacturers and the opinions of the proper advisory boards of the laland,
framed a bill which was introduced in the Cortes in the session of 1882-^83. Unfor-
tunately the bill, although recommended by the respective committee and diacuaMd
and passed in the Chamber of Deputies, faile<l to secure consideration by the Senate
owing to the fact of its adjournment It might, perhaps, have been better to intio-
dnee again tlie same bill and proclaim it when passed; but the oonditicma now
existing in Cuba are pucrh that no delay can be countenanced if the great intereata
connected with the tobacco industry are to be saved from the ruin which alao
threatens industries of no less importance in the island. Fortunately for the onder-
signed minister, the law authorized him to recommend a measure which shall pat an
tend to those evils. The law of July 25 of tlie present year granted him, among
other things, the power to adopt measures tending to protect in an efficient manner
the tobacco industry in the two Antilles, and the minister who has now the honor
tr) aridrens Your Majesty considers that the greatest protot'tion which may be given
in this matter conHints in securing for those who employ their capital and labor in
the very imf>ortant industry of the manufacture of tobacco the perfect and unques-
tionable ownernhip of their products and traiie-marks.
Founded ujMjn this business, and duly complying at the same time with the pro-
visions of article 11 of the law above-mentioned of July 25 ultimo, the colonial min-
ister has the high honor of submitting to the approval of Your Majesty the following
draft of a decree.

TiTLB IV.
Extinction of the right of ownership of trade^marks.
Abt. 17. The certificates of ownership ^hall become extinct and terminated at the
expiration of fifteen years, to be counted from the date of their concession; but they
may be renewed by exactly the same process as was followed for their 'acquisition.
Akt. 18. The certificate shall also become extinct —
1. By the dissolution or extinction of the corporation to which they belong.
2. By final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, though in this case the
extinction refers only to the party against which the decision was given.
3. Upon petition of the owner.
4. When the object of the trade-mark has not been put into operation in the Span-
ish dominions within the time established by this decree.
5. When the owner has failed to exercise for one year and one day the industry
or business to be protected by the trade-mark, unless he proves that the suspension
was due to superior force.
6. By the failure to comply with all the other requisites established by this decree.
Art. 19. Applications for a certificate of ownership shall be dismissed if the for-
malities required by this decree are not duly observed within the thirty days subse-

imputable to the applicant.
Art. 20. The declaration that a trade-mark is extinguished under jthe provisions
of article 18, Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 6, corresponds to the colonial secretary in case that
the mark was granted for the colonial possessions, but notice to the director of the
respective economical society is to be previously given. Against the decision of the
colonial secretary a claim can be presented within twenty days before the section of
the council of state which is in charge of suits against the Government.
When the extension of the trade-mark is founded upon failure to work it for one
year and one day, the declaration of the fact corresponds to the courts of justice upon
motion of a legitimate party.
Corporations which by virtue of this decree may be owners of trade-marks may
apply at any time for the declaration of extinction upon proper proof being filed for
this purpose. Questions arising in these cases in regard to the ownership or posses-
sion of the trade-mark shall be decided by the courts of justice to which the executive
authority shall send the record, giving notice thereof to the respective parties.

REGISTRATION OF PATENTS.
The legation of Cuba at Washington, under date of May 27, 1903,
furnished to the United States Government a translation of the
instruction regarding the procedure to be followed for the deposit in
Cuba of ti-ade-marks and patents granted abroad, as follows:
For the deposit and resulting protection in this Repu]>li(' of any foreign patent,
the party in interest shall apply therefor to the department of agriculture, industry,
and commerce of the said Republic, personally or through an attorney, and deliver
a certified copy of his inscription in the country of origin, with the respective explan-
ator>' memorial. The signature of the commissioner of j)atents or of the head of the
oflBce in the country of origin ])y whom the said copy is attested shall be authenti-
cated in the form prescribeil ])y dei^ree No. 48, dated April 17, 1903, of the President
of this Republic, in order to be valid at law. These documents shall l>e accompa-
nied by a translation of the same into the Spanish language, made or subscribe*! by
any one of the notaries [)ublic of the Republic authorized to that effect, or by it*?
diplomatic or consular officer residing at the place whence the said documents come.
These document*', as well as the plans of the })atent, shall lx> submitted in duplicate;
the second copy of the translation may be sij^ned by the party in interest. If the
patentee wishes to request the deixjsit of his patent in this Republic through a third
party, he shall forward at the same time the corresi>on<lintr power issued in favor of
the person that is to represent him. In order to have legal value, the power of
attorney shall also l)e authenticiited in the form above indicated. After the accept-
ance of the deposit in this Republic, if it takes ])la('e, notice of such acceptance shall
be given to the applicant (patentee or attorney), so that he may remit to the bureaus
of revenues and taxes of the fiscal zone of Habana the <lues amounting to $:i5 in
United States currency, and upon presentation in the department of agriculture,
industry, and commerce of the recei])t that shall l>e delivere<l by the afon'said treaf»-
ury bureau, there shall immediately be issue<l a certificate of deposit of the patent,
dealt with in the name of the j>atentee.
In the case of marks of all kinds, industrial designs, etc., the proctMlure will Ik*
practically the same as for the <leposit of ])atents. The only difference is that the
amount of dues in such cases is redu<re«l to $12.50 in -l^nitcil States currency, and that
after the deposit shall have been accepted, and before the certificate of the said
deposit shall be issued, the applicant shall submit five additional cojues of the cor-
responding diagram of the mark or industrial design. In order to exi)edite such
matters in the Republic of Cuba, it is recommended, for convenience sake, that some
person be apjx)inte<l here (at Habana) with sufficient powers to attend to them in
this city (Habana).
HANDBOOK OF OTTBA. 807
The following explanatx)ry statement was also furnished:
The aathentication of patent documents, of the United States and other countries,
which it is desired to deposit in the Bepublic of Cuba, for the purpose of protection,
is required only for one of the two copies that must be presented for deposit, the
second copy being a mere transcript of the first and signed by the applicant or his
attorney; the certification by the projier public ofl&cer of the translations into the
Spanish language of one of the copies that are to accompany the originals in the for,
eign language will also be sufficient. For marks, industrial designs, etc., the same
procedure must be followed — that is, the five additional copies of the corresponding
<liagrams, as they have been registered in the patent office of the country of origin-
must be delivered after the granting of the deposit

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
The Metric System of weights and measures is the official and legal
system of Cuba.
It was implanted by a law of the Spanish Parliament dated the 22d
of April, 1882, and ratified by order No. 70 of the American military
government on the 8th of June, 1899, providing for the adoption
in all the Spanish territories and possessions of a system " whose fun-
damental unity will be equal in longitude to the ten-millionth part
of the arch of the meridian extending from the North pole to the
•equator and which will be called 'Meter.'"
The following tables will amply explain the system, as compared
with that in use in the United States:

FOREIGN mSURANCS COKPANIBS.
Foreign insurance corporations are permitted to transact business
in Cuba in accordance with the laws of the place of organization, in so
far as their capacity to make contracts is concerned, and in accordance
with the provisions of the code of commerce relating to the establish-
ment of their houses, their business transactions, and the jurisdiction
of the courts. The preliminary requirements are:
1. Registration in the commercial registry, which consists in filing
in the said office a statement showing (a) the corporate name or title;
(}) the nature of the business proposed to be conducted; (c) the date
when it proposes to commence of)erations; (d) its domicile — i. e., loca-
tion of its principal office and branches; {e) a certified and duly authen-
ticated cx)py of the charter or certificate of incorporation and the
by-laws, with a certificate of the Cuban consift, if any, or due proof
that the corporation is incorporated according to the laws of the place
of its establishment; (J^ the general powers of the agents in charge of
the branch office.
2. A deposit in cash or securities, after approval by the secretary
of finance, in the treasury of the island, according to the following
schedule: Life - insurance companies, $25,000; casualty, $25,000.
When this deposit is made and approved the fact is officially pub-
lished and the company is duly authorized to do business, and there-
after pays no further license fees for that purpose, provided that the
capital stock is issued abroad, but is liable to general taxes based upon
the amount and nature of the business transacted.
WAT£R POWER OF CUBA.
Water power has been very little employed in Cuba, although a
great many rivers and creeks of considerable capacity exist to supply
power.
The Almendares River, which passes through the outskirts of
Habana on the west side, supplies the city and suburbs at present,
with 1,200 horsepower for a paper mill, brewery, and other turbines
already established of 250 horsepower each. By going farther up»
more power may be obtained without causing great damage to the-
others below. Mayabeque River, in (Juines, Province of Habana,.
was, until a few years ago, supplying power to run two sugar planta-
tions. The water employed then is now used in irrigation. In the;
San Juan River, Matanzas, there is a turbine established to run ao
ice factory.
The following cities, Habana, Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Santiago de
Cuba, Guines, Bayamo, Jovellanos, Sagua, Sancti Spiritus, Car-
denas, San Antonio de los Bafios, and Batabano, have aqueducts and
obtain their water supply direi^tly from the si^TVCk!^;^. \ti olGawt ^^^^^

water is generally obtained from wells, rain cisterns, and directly from
the rivers and creeks near by. Wells and natural springs are mostly
used. Aqueducts are being planned in Camaguez, Pinar del Rio,
Union de Reyes, Colon, Santa Clara, and Santiago de Cuba.

The flrst ed., 1684, antedates v. 1 by only three months. In the "advertisement to the
reader, concerning this second edition" the publisher states that he has compressed
the matter into less space by the use of smaller characters and closer typesetting,
and has added "some relations which have bi'en imparteil . . . from good and
authentic hands; wherein an* contained several other bold exploits . . . performed
of late years by the same bucaniers . . . especially since the time that the author . . .
published his book in Holland. These are comprehendeil in two or three chapters
at the latter end of this second edition, and do chiefly relate unto the adventures of
Captain Cook in the year 1678, an<l ... of Captain Sharp and others."
Sir Henr>' Morgan obtained judgment against Crooke for statements in the 1st ed. of
his publication regarded as libelous, but withdrew his charge on condition that the
publisher print an ai)ology. cf. citaticm from London gazette. June 8, 1685, in Sabin,
and the description of a copy of the 1684-85 ed. of Exquenielinln Sotheby's sale cata-
logue of the M. C. LefTerts coilection of Americana, June, 1902, p. 17, which has bound
up with V. 1 four leaves, entitled: " An amendment, or correction of the History of
the bucaniers in relation to the actions of Sir Henry Morgan, knyght." Morgan's
suit was the wcasion for Crooke's lengthy "preface to the reader" in v. 2.

First ed. of the Spanish translation, made from the original Dutch ed. of 1878. This
Spanish version is the source of the English translation first printed in 188A, and of
the French translation ftnt printed in 1086. The authors of these translattons at
secondhand were unfkmiiiar with the Dutch original and made rather free nw of
the Spanish version, "incorporating into their respective versions cnoalderable
additional matter, chiefly to bring into prominence the special merits of their oom*
patriots, e. g., the French version embodying many exploits of the French fUibusteia
not n^ferred to by the Dutch author, while the English edition makes Morgan the
principal hero of the storj'." (H. Powell, introd. to ed. of 1898)
